Jeff and I visited Lake Shastina on our way up to Oregon to view the Solar Eclipse in totality on a week long camping trip in our camper/truck with our dogs, Summer and Skye. Lake Shastina is a reservoir developed to dam the Shasta River northwest of Weed, California just west of Highway 97. Lake Shastina is a 1,850 acre lake located at an elevation 2,794 of feet above sea level at the northwest base of Mount Shasta.
This reservoir is nestled in a valley, northeast of the small town of Weed, this can be a delightful paddler’s paradise. Magnificent low foothills covered with stands of a trees and colorful lake side vegetation along the shoreline provide spectacular visual displays.
Sweeping views of Mt. Shasta can be seen from the lake while paddling on the lake. The lake is open to all types of boating. The strong wind conditions draw windsurfing and sailing enthusiasts. Located close to the lake is a primitive campground when we visited, but now it is a day-use only for picnics and overnight camping is no longer allowed.
This hike is dog friendly.
