The National Parks Service is encouraging visitors to come out and have a vacation at in one of America’s National Parks by waving the entry free at 147 National Parks on three different weekends this summer. Even the Big Dogs like Yosemite and the Grand Canyon are included in the deal. The offer will run three separate weekends in the summer, those being, June 20-21, July 18-19, and August 15-16. Camping and other activities will still have a fee attached, but a free entrance can save up to 25 dollars per visiting car. That makes a difference to people who are able to drive out for a day trip. This is a not to miss opportunity of 2009! All three National Parks in the Shasta Cascade region are included in the deal: Lassen Volcanic National Park, Lava Beds National Monument, and Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.

Ruth Lake is located a little off the beaten track in southwestern Trinity County. Camping is available on the lake, with other types of accommodations close by. Fishing is excellent with trout, kokonee, bass, bluegill and catfish plentiful in their respective seasons. Afternoon winds pick up, making the lake a favorite spot for sailors and windsurfers.

Trinity Lake is a superb vacation destination, from spring bass fishing to summer family fun. Spring Bass fishing is excellent, according to Tim Brady. His nine pound, eleven ounce small mouth bass, caught in Trinity Lake in 1976 still holds the state record. The extra 45 minute drive into the mountains to Lake Trinity is worth it. All the services and amenities are available, with less pressure and fewer people. Stay right on the lake in campgrounds or lakeside cabins. Just about the time that fishermen are moving to the cooler waters of the high mountain lakes and streams, families arrive at Trinity Lake for summer fun. Houseboating is excellent with warm days, and cool mountain nights. Water skiing, jet boating and swimming are great ways to fill vacation days on Lake Trinity.
