Beautiful place to swim fish n camp
First of all, the forest service hasn't wrong. There is no fishing allowed on that part of the Trinity river and if you get caught you will get a hefty fine and the game wardens, do watch it and make sure to keep your food locked up at night. There are lots of wild animals in the area. And it can't get quite boring sometimes during the day. Because there's nothing to do except swim in the cold cold water. And if you need ice, you're gonna have to drive to Hayfork, which is quite a drive there back. And make sure you take plenty of water.Because there is no drinking water
A fun and quiet camp ground. Also very inexpensive. You should check it out!
Loved it here and we had it all to ourselves:)
I went to a festival here or gathering. Either way it was amazing.
