Approximately 95 miles from the Greater Houston
Metropolitan area, lays an untapped residential/ recreational
paradise. Surrounded on three sides by Lake Livingston, Trinity is
the largest city along its shoreline. Whether your interests are
fishing, hunting, water sports or equestrian activities, this area
can accommodate your every desire.
Known for its unspoiled natural beauty, the
Upper Lake Livingston/Trinity River area provides year round
activities with a small town flavor, while offering access to the
luxuries & opportunities of one of the country’s most sophisticated
cities within an hour’s drive.
The Trinity area offers a small town/resort
atmosphere that takes advantage of its natural resources. We are
very proud of our scenic countryside and the friendly folks that
give us that hometown atmosphere. The abundance of wildlife and the
fishing in the area adds to the natural beauty and sparks the
enthusiasm of the nature lovers and the sportsman alike. Hunters &
fisherman have long recognized the desirability of the Trinity
Peninsula, and have a strong economic impact throughout the year.
Trinity is a growing community which offers
small town charm. With a population of 2,721, it is a melting pot of
longtime residents and people who have moved in from all over the
country. While in Trinity, you can enjoy gift of antique shopping,
dining in one of our many restaurants. Plan to enjoy a peaceful
night in our local motel, bed and breakfast or one of our many
campgrounds or resorts.
The year round recreation available and the
reasonable cost of living also makes this area a popular choice of
retirees, young families and second home buyers. With the State
Headquarters of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Sam
Houston State University just 20 minutes away, the Trinity area also
serves as a bedroom community for the constantly growing workforce
of these two institutions.
Trinity can offer the weekend visitor, as well
as the permanent resident, quality medical attention, dependable
police and fire protection, a public library, convenient shopping,
easy access to the lake with 12 area marinas and 2 public boat
ramps, and a quality of life that one can only find in the Piney
Woods of East Texas.
Located in the pine forests, the climate offers
a welcome respite from the extreme heat and humidity. Temperatures
range from an average low of 39 degrees in January to an average
high of 94 degrees in July. Its 45” of annual average precipitation
is sufficient to sustain its verdant character, yet its sandy soil
and rolling landscape minimize the muddy conditions common to the
Coastal Plains.
We invite you to visit the Trinity Peninsula
area. Stop in at the Chamber office, located at 702 South Robb in
the Alco Shopping Center. We’ll give you directions, tell you what’s
happening around the lake and hand you a map of Lake Livingston.
