The scenic Trinity Lake offers some of the
finest paddling in California. As paddlers
glide across the tranquil waters, they are
treated to stunning reflections of the
surrounding mountains. The lake's 145-mile
shoreline is dotted with countless
picturesque coves, though water levels can
drop significantly by the end of the season
due to drawdowns.
Located just 1.5 hours from Redding near the
town of Weaverville, this expansive
2,300-foot-elevation lake is the third
largest in California. Soaring eagles may
swoop down to catch fish right in front of
kayakers, as the lake is surrounded by the
pristine Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
Magnificent cedar and pine forests cover the
low mountainsides that descend to the
water's edge, with snowcapped peaks framing
the breathtaking scene.
Trinity Lake is renowned as one of
California's top fishing destinations,
offering excellent angling for a variety of
species, including catfish, Kokanee salmon,
bass, bluegill, and trout. It's particularly
known for its exceptional springtime
smallmouth bass fishing.
Overall, Trinity Lake is undoubtedly one of  the
state's finest paddling and boat-in camping
destinations, offering visitors a chance to
immerse themselves in the majestic Trinity
Alps wilderness.
