A short distance away, you have the South Fork of the Trinity River and the swimming is great! Close by, at Scotts Flat Campground, you have the trailhead for the South Fork National Recreational Trail. The trail parallels the South Fork of the Trinity River and is 7.2 miles long. The South Fork of the Trinity River is one of the most scenic waterways in Northern California. A visit to this awesome area is like stepping back one hundred years in time. Forest Glen is available for rent year-round.
