Description

Known as the "Houseboating Capital of the World," Lake Shasta is California's largest reservoir and truly offers an escape from the daily grind. Here you can relax on the deck of a boat, fish from the shore, or jump over the wake of a speedboat. Being close to the Pacific Coast and surrounded by the Trinity National Forest, Shasta Lake is a vacationers' paradise. Plan ahead with a houseboat rental and you'll be able to spend a lot more time entirely on the lake. Day temperatures reach near 100 degrees during the summer, whereas the water stays a perfect 78.

Lake Shasta is the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy some spectacular flora, fauna and recreational opportunities. Whether you're interested in houseboating, or anything from fishing to hiking or just sunbathing, you will not be disappointed.

Camping

A place for reflection.
