Lake Shasta

Lake Shasta is by far my favorite lake to go to in the summer. The lake is up in Shasta County near Redding, California. The lake got its name because of Mt. Shasta, which is the lakes neighbor and no matter where you are at on the lake you can see it. Lake Shasta is popular for camping, boating, house boating, water skiing, tubing, and swimming. The water is clean because of the snow run off, and great to swim in when the weather is hot out. You can rent a house boat for as long as you want, to just enjoy the lake, the view, and the sun. This lake is worth visiting.

  3. Ya the water is super nice. If you go far into a cove the water is so clear you can see the bottom, but its pretty hard to get back there in a ski boat. We had to turn off the motor and paddle back there trying not to hit rocks. But it was all worth is.
    I love the water and go every chance i get.
