Description
Ruth Reservoir is a seven-mile long reservoir located in the southern portion of Trinity County. The reservoir was formed by the damming of the Mad River in 1962, and has served both as a functional supplier of water to Humboldt County and a recreational area for fisherman, boaters, water skiers and swimmers alike. The reservoir lies in calm, beautiful surroundings of hills covered by Ponderosa pine and white fir. The reservoir sits at an elevation of 2,654 feet, which affords cool winters, warm summers, and amazing springs and falls.
Off the beaten path, approximately 70 miles from Eureka, Ruth Reservoir can be especially appreciated for its rainbow trout, and bass fishing, offering a marina and two boat ramps for your convenience. All facilities are located on Mad River Road off of Highway 36.
