Forty-niner Thomas Palmer, bought Cephus Wood’s property, known as “Old Tucker’s Place,” in 1850. In 1851, he built a ferry, a bridge, and numerous buildings. Palmer hired his adopted son, Benjamin Franklin Lewis, to run his enterprises, known to many as Lewis’ Bridge Estates, called Lewiston. Palmer died in 1853, leaving the entire 320 acres on the river including improvements, to B.F. Lewis. Lewis lost a lawsuit in February, 1855, to Palmer’s former associates and was forced to sell out. In 1856, Lewis married an English woman named Mary, in Sacramento, CA. They had three children; Elvira, Frank P. and Renania. The Lewis’ lived in many locations. Mary died in 1878, in Lakeview, Ore. The man who gave Lewiston its name was known to all as a solid citizen of upstanding character. B.F. Lewis died of natural causes Sept. 28, 1900, in The Dalles, Oregon.

The original Old Lewiston Bridge was built in 1851 when the town was a booming mining center. Only a few years later, the bridge washed away in the 1855 floods. It has since been rebuilt and washed away several more times. The present bridge was built in 1903 and remains one of the oldest one-lane bridges in California.

4440 Lewiston Rd, Lewiston, CA 96052

This year around trail combines South Lakeshore Trail, Baker Gulch Trail and an unnamed trail which together connects Mary Smith Campground and Cooper Gulch Campground. The trail meanders along the shore of Lewiston Lake through a mixed forest of conifer and deciduous trees, surrounded by abundant wildflowers. Boating and fishing are permitted on the lake. Just south of the bridge over Baker Gulch, the spur heading toward Lewiston Lake leads to a small pebble beach at the Baker Gulch cove. 3.1-mile out-and-back trail along Lewiston Lake, it takes an average of 1 h 15 min to complete. This trail is great for birding, camping, and fishing, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/lewiston-lake-trail
