Shasta-Trinity National Forest
Shasta Lake has many coves and arms which make it an ideal spot to take your boat, regardless of the type. Open areas for personal watercraft and wake-boarding, quiet coves for fishing, and calm hideaways to take a kayak are all available to you. The lake has many launch points to help you cut down on on-water travel time to your favorite destination.
