Fishing on the Trinity River

The Trinity River is within walking distance from the motel and offers a wide range of fishing.  In the fall, Chinook and Coho Salmon are present during the fall and early spring; Steelhead are abundant; and German Brown Trout are present all year.  The best fishing hole around is just minutes from the motel.

Lewiston Lake

Lewiston Lake is only 1 1/2 miles away from the motel and has the best fly fishing around.  Lewiston gets its water from the bottom of Trinity Lake which gives it a consistently low temperature.  Because of the colder water, it supports a large population of Rainbow and Brown Trout including a population of Kokanee Salmon.  Lewiston Lake is maintained at a full level year round.  The top speed on the lake is 10 mph, which makes for a very peaceful day of fishing.

Activities for the Entire Family

Enjoy rafting, swimming, canoeing, bird watching, biking, or just relaxing in a quiet, old-time atmosphere.  DON'T forget to visit nearby Weaverville with its many attractions like the Joss House, museums, art center, and old Victorian homes with a self-guided walking tour.

The Alps Wilderness

The Alps offer magnificent Alpine scenes with over 70 high mountain lakes for dayhiking, backpacking, mountain biking and horsepacking.  The Alps also offer the hunter many opportunities with deer, bear, turkey, ducks, and quail.  There are cross-country ski trails during the winter months.  The Alps are just a short drive from the motel.

Trinity Lake

Trinity Lake has 145 miles of shoreline.  It supports an excellent population of largemouth and smallmouth bass, rainbow, brown trout and catfish.  Trinity Lake is recognized as one of the state's top bass fisheries and Kokanee are also very popular.  Other activities include houseboating and water skiing and you'll love the warm temperatures for swimming.  It's just 2 short miles to the lake.
