Trinity Unit is a fishing area within the Weaverville Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits in the forest's Trinity Unit, and the nearest town is Weaverville. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Callahan show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 83°F, with only a few wet days in each. That station sits well below the unit, so temperatures here run cooler. Several other spots lie within a few miles. Swift Creek, a canoeing route, is about 1.5 miles away, and the Deer Flat and Swift Creek Trail hikes are both within 2 miles. Preacher Meadow Campground is about 2.4 miles off.
