Trinity County Travel
A Quiet Northern California Lake Getaway Without the Crowds
Skip the Tahoe traffic — here's the other lake worth knowing about.
If your idea of a lake trip doesn't include a two-hour boat ramp line, Lewiston is the answer people keep to themselves.
No-wake means no noise
Lewiston Lake has a no-wake rule and a constant water level. The result is a lake that looks the same in September as in May, and mornings quiet enough to hear osprey.
Off-season is the real secret
Weekly rates drop, trails empty out, and the fall color along the Trinity River is genuinely good. See the Trinity County calendar for timing.
Where to base yourself
Lakeview Terrace has cabins, RV sites, and a swimming beach on one property. Start with the cabins, or ask us what's quiet the week you want.
