To enjoy an active, multi-option lifestyle, Shasta County residents don’t have to pile in a car, endure hours of freeway congestion, or find themselves at a loss for an answer to the familiar question, “How long ‘til we get there?”
Because the fact is, in Shasta County you’re already ‘There.’ The things to do and sights to see are almost limitless … and all are almost as close as your own backyard.
Like to ski? Enjoy snow skiing in the winter and water skiing in the summer … within a stone’s throw.
How about hiking? Or mountain biking? Take off from your doorstep, if you wish, and find yourself quickly surrounded by towering forests, fertile meadows and meandering streams.
River fishing? Lake fishing? Take your pick. You may have to fight the fish – but you sure won’t have to fight the traffic to get to the fish.
Sailing, houseboating and simply exploring along the Sacramento River are part of ‘the package’ if you like … easy, relaxing, and just plain fun.
Is playing golf your passion? No matter how low your score, you’ll find the courses, challenges and scenery to be way above par.
Located at the gateway to the Shasta Cascade Region and Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, Shasta County offers a seemingly endless variety of recreation possibilities.
Redding is the fly-fishing mecca of the Golden State. Field & Stream magazine listed Redding as the 19th best town for anglers to live.
The City of Shasta Lake is the gateway to Shasta Dam. Recreation awaits!
