Three Rivers is a quiet hamlet with a small local population. Cinnamon Creek Cottage, named for a nearby branch of the South Fork of the Kaweah River, is close enough to town for a quick run for supplies, but far enough away to allow for the solitude many travelers prefer. Nearby South Fork Drive is lightly traveled. Often it may be an hour or more before a car passes by. The sunset over the mountains from the raised deck is always enjoyable, and in summer a cool evening breeze typically flows down from Horn Mountain as soon as the sun slips away.
Also, there will be a park map waiting for you in the welcome book when you reach the cottage. This is the actual map issued by the National Park Service, not something from a secondary source. This should help you get a head start in planning your first park day.
