Straddling the Trinity River, in the heart of the Trinity
Alps of Northern California, Eagle Creek Ranch
is an idyllic getaway to one of Northern California's
last undiscovered regions. Our two well-appointed guest
houses offer private accommodations for small families
and groups of up to 12 people (between the two homes),
and the Dredger's Cottage offers overflow sleeping for
2 more in wilderness cabin style arrangements.

Trophy-sized bass and trout are
just minutes away. Steelhead and
salmon within a reasonable drive.
Picturesque settings abound for
both bass hunters and flyfishermen
to pursue their craft. |
