Dogwoods and Trinity Lake

This small town of 3,600 souls is the seat of government for Trinity County and boasts one of the few operating sawmills left in California. Weaverville’s economic health depends on recreation and tourism, and so visitors have many options for motels, restaurants, gas stations, and stores.

A pre- or post-trip meal at one of the many dining establishments lining Main Street, where CA 299 runs through town, is a common practice. Although franchises have recently spread their tentacles into the area (Burger King, Round Table, Starbucks, and Subway), plenty of independent restaurants still remain, especially in the historic section. La Casita (252 Main St.; 530-623-5797) is a tiny Mexican restaurant with a fine menu and ample portions for those with a big appetite. Another restaurant of note in the historic section of town is Red Dragon, a Chinese–Thai establishment appropriately located across from the Joss House (401 Main St.; 530-623-5370). Fresh and wholesome deli fare is available from Trinideli, just off the main drag (201 Trinity Lakes Blvd., 530-623-5856, trinideli.com). Susie’s Bakery (1260 Main St.; 503-623-5223) is the town’s traditional bakery, where you can pick up standard carbo-loading fare. Promisingly, Trailhead Pizza, whose Coffee Creek location is justifiably famous for its pies, has recently opened a restaurant on the east side of town (160 Nugget Lane; 530-623-4436).
