Things to Do Near Lewiston Lake
Hikes, hidden spots, and the mellow stuff worth driving out for.
You can fill a week here without doing anything strenuous. These are the places we actually send guests.
On the water
Lewiston Lake is no-wake, which makes it perfect for kayaks, canoes, and nervous first-time paddlers. Trinity Lake, ten minutes up the road, is where you go if you want a ski boat.
Trails
Short river walks near the dam, longer climbs in the Trinity Alps, and shaded fall-color loops in autumn. Trailhead links and difficulty notes are on the activities page.
Town stops
Weaverville's historic main street, the Lewiston fish hatchery, and a handful of genuinely good small-town restaurants. Read why families from Redding and Eureka love it here for the weekend version.
