Adventure like a local in TRINITY COUNTY!

A visit to Trinity County will create memories. Your day in Trinity can be low key or high excitement,⎯your choice. Trinity is filled with gold rush history and the Trinity Alps Wilderness is a hiker’s mecca. Our thriving arts community reflects this rich culture and our love of nature.

1 The Joss House State Historic Park is the oldest continuously used Chinese temple in California. On display are art objects, mining tools, and weapons used in the 1854 Tong War. This Taoist temple is a fascinating look into the historic role played by Chinese immigrants. The Jake Jackson Museum introduces you to Trinity’s past. See an active blacksmith shop and stamp mill.

2 Step back in time as you stroll through Weaverville’s historic downtown with its gold rush buildings. Grab a coffee, lunch, ice cream, or candy while you’re there. With a variety of locally-run restaurants and cafes, there’s something to satisfy every pallet!

3 Looking for an afternoon of excitement? Spend your time on the wild and scenic Trinity River or attacking the 40 miles of single-track mountain bike trails of the Weaver Basin Trail System. Rafting routes vary from a quiet float to a white-water thrill. Fishing trips will delight beginners to seasoned steelhead hunters.

4 Want a little slower pace? Visit one of Trinity’s mountain lakes – Trinity, Lewiston, or Ruth Lake. Each lake offers different outdoor memories. Your choice⎯waterski, houseboat, fish, paddle board, kayak, or wildlife watching. Trinity Lake is known for its large bald eagle population. Our marinas can match you with the right rental craft to complete your Trinity adventure.

5 Need to really chill out? Visit a Trinity County winery. Our wineries offer uncrowded wine tastings in mountain valleys surrounded by pine forests and oak woodlands. Grab your picnic, spread out on the winery lawn, and enjoy the silence and calm of rural Trinity.
