Image

I have a feeling the picture is actually the Klamath River upstream of Weitchpec... look in Google Street view, the CA96 bridge over the Klamath, looking upstream... it looks suspiciously like the top image on this page. Shannon ^talk _contribs 04:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it looks remarkably the same. Here's a link to the Google street view image from the bridge: [1]. Compare to the photo used on this page, [2]. Pfly (talk) 07:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trinity Dam

There's one dam between Trinity Lake and Lewiston Lake. Trinity Lake is man-made and was formed by damming the Trinity River just above where it flowed into Lewiston Lake. Lewiston Lake is a natural lake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.159.192.10 (talk) 21:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Streamflow

You could lose the phrase "It is worth noting that" without changing the meaning of the sentence. Same with "Also of note is". Just including these facts in an encyclopedia article testifies to their noteworthiness.

Native Americans

It's a little confusing where you say "Their name for the Trinity River was hun' simply meaning "river"." But then in the next sentence "The origin of their name for the Trinity River, Hoopa or Hupa, is uncertain." So, which was the river's name, "hun'" or "Hoopa"?

Fixed. It seemed to be missing a sentence there. Shanno n 00:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Post-Gold Rush settlement

"The Forest Service was criticized for mismanaging timber lands in the area...." Who criticized them?

I added the names of the environmental groups who filed a lawsuit, and a source. Shanno n 00:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Are footnotes 20 and 55 the same source? If so, the notes could be combined.

Fixed. Shanno n 00:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is an excellent article and, once these minor issues are resolved, I look forward to promoting it to Good Article. --Coemgenus (talk) 14:13, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
