Trinity Lake is the third largest lake in California. With 16,000 surface acres and 145 miles of shoreline it is uncrowded even during summer peak months. The lake's irregular shoreline creates three separate arms with many secluded tree-lined coves that are perfect for anglers and houseboaters. Water skiers find the "glassy" water excellent.
Anglers will enjoy fishing Trinity Lake for trophy-size large-mouth bass, rainbow and German Brown trout, Kokanee salmon and catfish. The lake also holds the California State record for small-mouth bass.
