The Trinity Lake/Weaverville area is one of three units that comprise the Whiskeytown-Trinity-Trinity National Recreation Area. It was established by Congress in 1965. These areas are recognized for their unique and varied recreation potential. The Trinity Lake Unit and the Trinity Lake Boating Safety maps are available in our offices at no charge.
