Strawberry
Fishing, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Vacation Cabins
Strawberry, which borders Highway 108 several miles past Pinecrest, has been a mountain retreat for 150 years. Most of the early buildings have disappeared, but the charm of Strawberry still draws thousands of visitors every year.
One of the main attractions is the South Fork of the Stanislaus River which runs through Strawberry, offering its restful murmur to visitors and providing a lively trout stream for anglers. A trail leads downstream all the way to Fraser Flat.
Several key businesses are found in Strawberry - the Strawberry Store and the Strawberry Inn. They have become landmarks along Highway 108. Vacation Rental Cabins are scattered around the residential sections of Strawberry, offering lodging for vacationers year-round. Many renters like Strawberry's close proximity to Pinecrest, Dodge Ridge, Leland High Sierra Snowplay, and the rest of Sonora Pass.
The Strawberry Store hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, except for Sundays when the hours are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Besides basic groceries, they carry some camping gear and fishing tackle.
The store is a meeting place for people in the area. They stop by to visit with fellow Strawberry residents or to relax on the porch and just pass the time watching the flow of people and cars.
Strawberry Inn
The Strawberry Inn is located on Highway 108 in Strawberry, across the highway from the store. Strawberry Inn provides rooms for rent, dining, and banquet facilities. It was established in 1939. Knotty pine, a stone fireplace, and an excellent collection of paintings, sculptures and woodcarvings decorate the Strawberry Inn, providing an accent to an already beautiful setting.
The Strawberry Inn is only a few miles from Pinecrest Lake, Beardsley Reservoir, Dodge Ridge Ski Area, and Leland High Sierra Winter Play Area. The Inn overlooks the South Fork of the Stanislaus River.
Dining guests can choose tables overlooking the river in the main dining room or at their attached octagonal two-story gazebo.
