2/8/2010: We've gotten more rain and have seen several catarafts and drift boats either putting in
at Bucktail across from our cabin, or taking out there. Temperatures have been downright balmy.
We're fully booked 2/13 until the 15th, but have plenty of availability around those dates. Come on up!

"We all had a GREAT stay as usual! See ya on February 21st."

Trinity River Adventure Inn's cabins are in two locations on the upper Trinity River. We feature year-round fishing; river and lake kayaking and rafting; hiking; birding; wine tasting and lots more. We provide wonderful meals (optional) and have a great 14' raft and fleet of Ocean Kayak sit-on-top kayaks available for rent and sale.
Our Bucktail location for Sow's Ear is 3 miles from Lewiston. The Steel Bridge location is 6 miles away; it has 4 cabins on the Trinity. It's got a productive salmon hole and steelhead riffles along its shoreline. Just 45 minutes west of Redding, we are perfectly positioned for fishers, kayakers, hikers and people who want to kick back and relax.

1/1/2010: "Jeff and I had a wonderful stay! We felt very comfortable as soon as we got here. Steph & Heidi, you both are very accommodating. The cabin was great! We are going to be staying here again! Bella [a very happy Lab puppy] loved it here & playing in the snow. We had a wonderful time."
Christina Saenz/Vallejo, CA

12/30/2009: "Thanks for another great trip--at least your part! The place [Carriage House] was great and the breakfasts were perfect. Anyone who stays with you and doesn't get the breakfasts is crazy! Fishing was great so I'm sure we'll see you guys again. Have a great year! " Kevin Eldridge/San Francisco, CA

We're dog-friendly, have our own dogs, and occassionally take them on their own adventures. Click here to see Steph and Mark Grayson (www.trailerdogs.com) wiring the dogs' motorcycle trailer. It's 6 hours compressed into 3 minutes and pretty fun to watch, especially seeing how helpful Mark's dogs and ours were!

11/17/2009: "We really enjoyed our first extended stay [at the Carriage House] and steelhead trip on the Trinity. The food was perfect, the strata was great! Thanks again. We hope to stay here with you guys again soon."
Kevin Eldridge (who is already booked for a return stay!)

Fish a World Famous River
"Caught my first steelhead and it was fantastic!"
Frank Meraz, Sr./Fresno, CA

The Trinity River is renowned for salmon, steelhead, trout and more. Guests come from all over the country to fish this river
and our locations couldn't be better. Guides can even pick you up at Bucktail and drop you off at our Steel Bridge cabins. Click here for Fishing.

It's really something to see.

Kid & Dog-Friendly Lodging & Adventures
"I loved it! I especially liked the fast water parts!”
Miles Johnson, age 10

It takes a special touch to introduce kids to paddling or hiking, or dogs to riding in a sidecar or kayaking, and we do it well, whether it's picking blackberries on a kayak trip or running the gentle rapids with your four-legged best friend.
Well-behaved, friendly dogs are welcome at all of our cabins; same goes for the kids. Click here for Adventures.
"I recommend this inn to any adventureist who may have kids or dogs."
Tara Roddy/Santa Cruz, CA

Wonderful Meals
"Absolutely wonderful food (I want the recipes)."
Karen Cruz/Monterey, CA

We offer sumptuous meals at Laughing Salmon (our cabin near Sow's Ear; on the river in Bucktail). Emphasis is on fresh, healthful, flavorful and abundant.
Served on the patio over the river three seasons of the year, or inside overlooking the river. May be delivered to your cabin
for an extra charge. Click here for Meals.
"The best B & B food we have ever had."
