Experience Trinity River
The Trinity River is classified as a Wild & Scenic River and is the largest tributary to the Klamath River. Starting in the Trinity Alps and Scott Mountains, the Trinity River flows 165 miles through the mountains and valleys of Trinity County before meeting up with the Klamath at Weitchpec. The watershed encompasses an area of nearly 3,000 square miles, most of which is vital habitat for anadromous salmon and steelhead.
The Trinity River is noted for its fishery and whitewater attractions. It offers endless opportunities for fun, fishing, and family, and we invite you to uncover all the hidden wonders of the Trinity River so you can plan your next exploration.
