East Fork of the North Fork Trinity River

These proposed Wild and Scenic Rivers flow from the magnificent Trinity Alps Wilderness, providing important habitat for salmon and steelhead migrating to and from the Trinity River, as well as outstanding outdoor recreation opportunities and scenery.

Along with the North Fork Trinity and Canyon Creek, the East Fork North Fork is considered by the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to be an important stream for maintaining stocks of genetically pure wild anadromous fish. The stream support summer steelhead, spring chinook salmon, and coho salmon.
