About Us

For any of you that are interested in a comfortable historic community experience, come and enjoy the wonderful historic community experience of Wiggin's Trading Post. Here there at Wiggin's Trading Post you would enjoy a experience of a historically old community country store, that provide a variety of other things to choose from. You would gain a access to the community and some of its natural attributes, such as directions to a natural area of the commuity, fishing license and a selection of goods and supplies.  

Wiggins Trading post is a historic community old country store selling a variety of items from groceries to convenient items. Some of the items sold at Wiggins  are; groceries, beer, soda, it has a full meat market and a fudge shop, fishing and camping equipment, greeting cards, unique gifts, and usual everyday items.

Wiggins trading post is located in Chilcoot, CA.    Kirk Douglas, Dan Aykroyd and Corbin Allred stopped in while filming the 1999 movie "Diamonds." Wiggin's even appears in the movie but that's just trivia. You need to stop at Wiggin's for yourself. A multitude of items are squished into this all-purpose shop. Anything you could possibly need on a camping trip at Frenchman's Reservoir can be found here. Location for Donna’s Meat Market. Fresh, local beef, homemade fudge, all grocery items, ice, propane, gasoline.

"Very few," Shirley Wiggins says, emphasizing the moment with a point of her index finger, "go home empty-handed. Oh, is the fishing good at Frenchman."

Wiggins should know. Since 1968, Shirley and her husband, Richard, have watched anglers carry stringers of fish -- trout and catfish, mostly -- to Wiggins Trading Post to brag. To get their picture taken. To buy ice and ice cream novelties. Bait, lures -- whole fishing rigs, in Sierra County and Plumas County. Wiggins Trading Post on Highway 70 is the last outpost, the last stop for anglers before the eight mile drive up the Little Last Chance Creek canyon to Frenchman Lake. The Department of Water Resources lake -- it is managed by the Plumas National Forest -- has 21 miles of fishable shoreline, four campgrounds and two boat launches.
