Learn more about this land: The Rock Pit is a 5 acre swimming hole located in Trinity County that has been there over 50 years. Long ago they had dug out an area on a hill for rock on the dirt roads, and hit and underground water table. There are no fish in the Rock Pit, as the pH is 4.5, so no fish will live in it. I recall swimming there as a small boy, and wanted to share my memories with others. Depth ranges all over, but the deep end is around 15 feet. I have 2 kayaks currently, but bring yours if you have them, along with your vests. There is fishing in Lake Livingston, my place is north of it. There is access to Lake Livingston via White Rock Creek. A public boat ramp in on Highway 94, just outside Trinity. Or you can go back towards Trinity, to highway 357 and go to a ramp closer to the big lake. Tall pine tress, a few Oaks, and maple trees surround the place. Bring your mosquito repellant, as you are in the country! The place is raw right now, but I am planning improvements such as a few A frame cabins, a showering area and so on. So many things to do!

The Rock Pit

Camping in the cold rain!

Richard was kind, knowledgeable and very accommodating for our stay! It was a rainy weekend and chilly! We had a blast exploring the trails in the area and can’t wait to come back!!

The Rock Pit

The land was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! Clean, well maintained and quiet. Took 7 teenage boys and myself. All of us agreed—one of the best campouts ever. We were the only ones there for the whole weekend. Enjoyed tons of maintained acreage and a private lake. Fantastic lake views and peace and quiet. Richard was as AMAZING IN EVER WAY! Will be coming back again and again.

Just the land alone is beautiful with trails around the clear water rock quarry and very quiet nights and clear sky’s for the stars
