Cooper Gulch Campground

Cooper Gulch Campground is located on the shores of Lewiston Lake, approximately 4 miles north of Lewiston on County Road 105 and 17 miles from Weaverville. The campground is on the water's edge and is a favorite for fishermen and for launching kayaks or canoes. The area offers excellent opportunities for fishing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife viewing. Pine Cove boat ramp is within 4 miles, and the Fairview launching area on Trinity Lake is 9 miles north. Motorized boats are limited to ten miles per hour. Rainbow trout are abundant, and brown and brook trout are common; this is a good lake for a float tube and excellent fly fishing. There are five paved campsites, each furnished with a table and fire ring. The Cooper Gulch day use area has five parking spaces for people to fish or to hike on the Baker Gulch Trail. The campsites are tucked into a mixed forest of conifer and deciduous trees, surrounded by abundant wildflowers, and every site offers a view of Lewiston Lake. The lake is about 5 miles long, about 70 feet deep, and sits at an elevation of 1,902 feet. The campground is located 3 miles from the historic town of Lewiston, California.
