Bid now on this gift certificate for a 4-hour patio boat rental from Ruth Lake Community Services District.

Only two hours southeast of Eureka and three hours northwest of Red Bluff, Ruth Lake is your perfect base for exploring the southern end of Trinity County and the lovely Six Rivers National Forest - nearly one million acres of forest waiting for your enjoyment and relaxation. Here, the Mad and Van Duzen Rivers wind lazily down to the ocean, weaving their way through the forest and providing a luxurious habitat for abundant wildlife - and exceptionally beautiful wilderness hiking and riding trails. Breathtaking views of Ruth Lake blanketed in springtime fog or crowned by the glorious warmth of the summer sun will tempt every amateur and professional photographer - and bird watcher!

Ruth Lake itself is 2,654 feet above sea level at the spillway, while the surrounding South Fork Mountain Range rises to over 6,000 feet. The climate is warm and dry during the summers with daytime temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Spring and fall days tend to be mild and cool with occasional snow and frosty, cold nights. Annual precipitation averages about 60" with the majority falling October thru April. Heavy snowfalls are uncommon below 3000' but the mountains around Ruth Lake receive substantial snow. The air is crystal clear throughout most of the year.
