Trinity County
Weaverville is the seat of Trinity County, a mountain and forest area. With its almost 3300 sq miles, the county is roughly the size of Delaware and Rhode Island together, yet has a total population of only 13, 000, and not one traffic light or parking meter.

The Town of Weaverville
"Weaverville is a small gem of a town on the National Register of Historic Places.  It is a rural community nestled at the base of the magnificent Trinity Alps Wilderness. You can easily spend a day here just strolling around, visiting art galleries, museums and other historic structures."

is the oldest continuously used Chinese temple in California. On display are art objects, pictures and mining tools..

Fishing
"The Trinity River is world-famous for its fine steelhead and salmon fishing, as well as for trophy brown trout.

Chinook salmon are the most sought-after gamefish in the Trinity River system. Spring-run salmon begin to enter the river in May and provide trophy fishing through November throughout the river."
