Trinity County is located in the part of East Texas known as “Deep East Texas.”
Situated between the Neches and the Trinity rivers, Trinity County offers a wide range of outdoor opportunities. Trinity County borders the north end of Lake Livingston, a 90,000-acre lake. A large portion of the Davy Crockett National Forest, 67,000 acres, is located in the northern part of Trinity County. This combination of two rivers, Lake Livingston and the National Forest provide an excellent opportunity for residents and tourists to enjoy the great outdoors, particularly hunting and fishing.
Trinity County is also home to three golf courses including Whispering Pines Golf Club, which has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of “America’s Greatest 100.” Whispering Pines is home to the Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship. We are also home to two youth camps as well as two church camps.
The county seat of Groveton is home to our historic Trinity County Courthouse and our County Museum. Our largest city, Trinity, features several antique shops.
Trinity County is host to many special annual events including Casino Night in February, the County Fair in March, the Cajun Crawfish Boil in May, the Community Fair in September, the Cowboy Revival and Rodeo & the Area Go Texan Barbecue Cook-off in October, and the Christmas at the Crossroads and Christmas on the Square in December.
Next time you are in the eastern part of the state, stop in Trinity County – you just might stay.
