Road Biking and Racing
Pedal through the Mountain Turns
Trinity County offers the pleasures of road riding on lightly traveled roads.
One example is to park in Lewiston and loop out around on Trinity Dam Boulevard to Highway 3 and back to Lewiston via Rush Creek Road. Here you get to take in views of both lakes, Trinity and Lewiston as well as the dam in between.
Road Races
Road racers also get their chance to explore Trinity County.
