Lake Shasta
A change of view – and pace – is offered at lovely Lake Shasta located in northern California. Green forested edges surround this vast lake, with the majestic mountain that gives this place its name juts into the blue skies, towering past the trees in the distance. Countless miles of sandy shorelines offer plenty of room for you and your group to find your ideal beach for your stay. With three different marinas to depart from, and a diverse group of houseboat models being offered from each, you’re sure to find your perfect home away from home for your vacation. Make use of the many watercraft rentals offered by the marinas to turn the excitement up a notch. Take a thrill ride with your friends on personal watercrafts or pack a picnic and spend lunch in the sun while cruising by ski boat, stopping to cool off by jumping into the cool waters.
Don't miss out visiting Potem Falls during your stay at Lake Shasta, a 45 ft. waterfall well worth the hike. Or, take a break from the water and take a tour of the extraordinary Shasta Caverns.
