Trinity Lake National Recreation Area (Fairview )

The Fairview Boat Ramp at Trinity Lake National Recreation Area offers a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to enjoy the beautiful Trinity Lake. Located just north of Trinity Dam in Lewiston, California, this USDA Forest Service-operated facility provides a paved ramp and parking area for launching and retrieving your watercraft.

Trinity Lake, also known as Clair Engle Lake, is a massive reservoir covering over 145 miles of tree-lined shoreline. The main body of the lake offers a variety of coves and arms perfect for fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying a peaceful day on the water. The lake is popular with anglers and pleasure boaters alike, thanks to its diverse aquatic life and scenic natural setting within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Visitors can purchase a required activity pass on-site or in advance through Recreation.gov. Several nearby campgrounds, including Ridgeville Island Boat-In Campground and Cooper Gulch Campground, provide convenient overnight options for those looking to extend their Trinity Lake adventure.
