Welcome

, to Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association’s 2014/2015 Official Visitors Guide. I am glad to play a role in sharing this publication created by our community as an overview of ideas for those of you who want to discover, or rediscover all the recreational wonders of Butte, Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity counties, the eight eastern counties in northern California that together comprise the Shasta Cascade Region. For more than 87 years Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association has been proud to showcase this incredibly diverse area that is about the size of Ohio, rich in natural resources surrounded by friendly people, fresh air, clean water, and magnificent mountains and waterfalls. We invite you to come enjoy our backyard in person because words and pictures alone cannot describe the beauty of the region.

Besides outstanding outdoor recreation, history and culture can be found nearby in one of many museums, theaters and art collectives located throughout the counties. You will also discover many quaint places to buy locally grown agricultural products and enjoy shopping experiences that will allow you to leave with a piece of our local flavor. Shasta Cascade is home to cattle ranches, almond orchards, mandarin oranges, honey, strawberries, apples, award winning wineries, full bodied beers and much more.

This guide was designed to help give you an overview of activities to make for a fun trip as well as places to stay and dine, but if you find you want more detailed information about any of the regions found in these pages, we have knowledgeable staff waiting to share area specific materials at our California Welcome Center located off interstate 5 at Shasta Outlets just south of Redding, in the City of Anderson. Of course you can visit our website at www.ShastaCascade.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am confident if you choose to spend several days exploring the area, your travels will provide lasting memories for you and your loved ones.

Enjoy,

Ed Rullman, President

SCENIC Byways FREEDOM | The freedom to travel a mile a minute.

A twenty-mile trip used to take all day until the automobile brought the freedom to travel a mile a minute! In 1908 the Ford Model T sold for $850.00 and changed America forever.

Its simplicity, strength, and design were perfect for the deeply rutted roads of the west, and the American driving vacation became a lifestyle. Listed here are nationally designated scenic byways, historic routes and one of just three All American Roads in California. This All American Road, the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, highlights a national treasure—Lassen Volcanic National Park.

Gather up some family or friends, get in the car and out of the city, and you too can discover what Americans have been experiencing for almost 100 years - the magic of building relationships and making memories with a scenic driving vacation.

Information about lodging & traveler services is available from the visitors bureaus and chambers of commerce along the route.

Feather River Scenic Byway Railroad History, Northern Sierra Golf Country & Historic River Canyons The Feather River Scenic Byway follows the North Fork of the Feather River into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The route is one of California’s earliest routes over the Sierras, providing the lowest elevation highway crossing during major winter storms. The byway traverses the northern Sierra Nevada and ends near the Nevada border, making it unique in its botanical and cultural diversity.

Lodging and other traveler services are available in Oroville, Quincy and Graeagle/Portola, with other limited services along the route.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 125 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 4 hours • Best Time to Go: Spring through Fall

Historic Highway 99 Broad Valleys Dotted with Magnificent Oaks, Fertile Fields, Orchards & Old Bridges Like other routes, Highway 99 began as a horse and stagecoach trail extending from Mexico to Canada, and was eventually improved to higher standards as time moved on. In the early 1920’s when automobiles were being mass produced, a definitive United States Highway system was needed for the promotion of commerce and tourism. In 1926 the Pacific Highway was designated to become US Highway 99. Lodging and other traveler services are available in Red Bluff and Chico, with other limited services along the route.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 42 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 1 hour • Best Time to Go: Year-round

Shasta Dam/Shasta Lake Scenic Byway

Trinity River Scenic Byway

Stunning Views and Adventures Await

From the Valley Oaks to the Redwood Coast This scenic byway may offer some of the most diverse scenery, botanical variety, wildlife and climatic zones of any drive in far Northern California. The route encompasses the dryer, warmer Sacramento River Valley to the cool, often foggy Redwood Coast. It features a variety of cultural and historical glimpses of the gold mining, timber, and Native American history. Lodging and other traveler services are available in Redding, Weaverville, Eureka/Arcata, with limited services in Willow Creek, and other limited services along the route.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 3 miles (7 miles from I-5) • Minimum Driving Time: 5-8 minutes • Best Time to Go: Year-round

Bigfoot Scenic Byway

Mountain Lakes, Gold Rush History, & the Pacific Crest Trail Water is never far away from the Trinity Heritage Scenic Byway, including Lewiston Lake, Trinity Lake, the Trinity River, and numerous sparkling streams in far Northern California. You will be driving through some of the most beautiful and rugged portions of Trinity and Siskiyou County. Much of the route follows the path of 19th century gold miners and settlers, and offers scenic views of mountainsides, jagged cliffs, and dramatic vistas. Lodging and other traveler services are available in Weaverville, Lewiston, Trinity Center, and Weed, with other limited services along the route.

This byway is just seven miles north of Redding off of Interstate 5. It runs through the City of Shasta Lake which has all services. The byway begins at Shasta Dam Blvd. and Lake Blvd, and continues west to a vista point that affords the traveler a stunning view of the three SHASTA DAM/SHASTA LAKE Shastas: Shasta Dam (tallest center S C E N I C B Y W AY overflow dam in the world), Shasta Lake (California’s largest lake), and Mt. Shasta (14,179 feet). Many activities are available after reaching Shasta Dam—guided tours of the Dam, boat ramp, and bank fishing is available at Fisherman’s Point. Camping, biking, and hiking trails are located on the west side of the dam.

Wild & Scenic River Canyons, Legendary Bigfoot Lore, and Native American & Gold Rush History

Emigrant Trails Scenic Byway

State of Jefferson Scenic Byway

Rich in Native American, Euro-American, & Emigrant Trail History & Culture

Colorful Settlement History, a Blend of Narrow Valleys, Steep Forested Mountains & the Rugged Klamath River The State of Jefferson Scenic Byway derives its name from an early 1940’s movement where locals blockaded Highway 96 and declared Jefferson to be its own state. Many believed that Jefferson would have become the 49th state in the Union had the bombing in Pearl Harbor not focused the nation on war in the Pacific. The mighty Klamath River, called the “Clamet” by Native Americans, continues to shape the lifestyle and landscape of Northern California. Lodging and other traveler services are available in Yreka and Happy Camp, with camping and lodging opportunities along Hwy. 96, and other limited services along the route.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 108 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 3-4 hours • Best Time to Go: Year-round for Hwy. 96 portion, Grayback Summit closed during the winter months.

High Desert, Applegate-Lassen Trail, and 150 Years of Little Change

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 93 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 3 hours • Best Time to Go: Summer, check road conditions before traveling.

Smith River Scenic Byway

A Recreational Paradise

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 33 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 1 hour • Best Time to Go: Year-round

Modoc Volcanic Scenic Byway Unrivaled Volcanic Features, Natural Wonders and Indian Lore Traversing an area unrivaled in North America for its volcanic features, the Modoc Volcanic Scenic Byway provides a rich mixture of geology, wildlife viewing and Native American history. This route is somewhat unique in that the entire route is only available for driving for a short four month span from June 1st to October 15th. Although the road is good, sections of the byway are unpaved.

However for optimal viewing opportunities, the portion of the byway in the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge is best during the winter months. Lodging and other traveler services are available in McCloud and Tulelake, with other limited services along the route.

10 Shasta Cascade Visitors Guide 2014/2015

One of just 31 All-American Roads in the United States, the 500-mile Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway connects Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California and Crater Lake National Park in Southern Oregon. The volcanic activity of the Cascade Range has created unique geological formations that can only be seen in this part of America. The byway travels through dense forests, across broad wetlands, pastoral grasslands, along clear swift streams and through massive farms and ranches. These wide open-spaces make this area adjacent to the byway an ideal setting for hiking adventures, great fishing and whitewater boating. Enjoy great scenery and a chance to experience a slower, quieter pace of life. Communities along the byway are eager to tell their story and share their uniqueness with you.

A few days along the byway could be one of your most memorable vacations, one that excites your senses, refreshes your soul and offers the possibility of taking your breath away at every bend in the road.

Lake Almanor/Chester

Wild & Scenic River, National Recreation Area, Diverse Landscape This scenic byway follows the Smith River, which is considered one of the crown jewels of the National Wild & Scenic River System. As the byway climbs away from the coast, it enters the Smith River Canyon. The National Recreation Area has seven distinctive plant communities. You’ll pass from a coastal redwood forest to old growth stands of Douglas fir to dense chaparral. The river has more than 175 miles of navigable waterway ranging from Class 1 to Class 5. Lodging and other traveler services are available in Crescent City, Gasquet and Patrick Creek, with other limited services along the route.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 64 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 2 hours • Best Time to Go: Year-round

Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway

Barrel Springs Back Country Byway In the northeastern corner of California the Warner Mountains rise in a near solid wall to an elevation of almost 10,000 feet. Crossing over these mountains at Cedar Valley, you will enter a totally different world. Explorer John Freeman named it “the Great Basin”, the land where none of the rivers run to the sea. Lodging and other traveler services are only available in Cedarville. There are no other services along the route.

Travelers on this route will drive within close proximity to the Applegate, Lassen and Burnett Emigrant Trails.

The scenery of Goose Lake, the Warner Mountains, and beautiful farm country will take you back in history to when this area was settled over 150 years ago. The Warner Mountains have one of the most unique obsidian deposits in the United States, with four areas open for collection. The byway route is also part of the “Pacific Flyway” for migrating birds and 75% of the migrating waterfowl pass through the nearby Klamath Basin refuges. Lodging and other traveler services are available in Alturas, Cedarville, Tulelake, with other limited services along the route.

The southernmost point of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway is the Chester/Lake Almanor basin, where Highways 89, 32, 36, and 44 converge. It is also where the Sierra Mountain Range meets the Cascade Range.

Although originally developed as a logging and sawmill community, Chester’s charm now comes from quaint B&B’s and 1950’s style motels. Westwood is just to the east of Lake Almanor/Chester and once was the largest lumber town in the west. A 24 foot tall statue of the legendary logger Paul Bunyan honors the town’s logging heritage. The road north out of Westwood provides wintertime access to the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, as the road through Lassen Volcanic National Park is usually closed from November to May. Just a few miles off the byway and east of Westwood is Susanville. The cliffs and gorge of the Susan River flank its western limits and is the eastern end of the Bizz Johnson Recreational Trail.

This rail to trail conversion is considered by many to be one of the most exhilarating trails in Northern California.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 133 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 4 hours • Best Time to Go: Year-round; some portions seasonal only

Lassen Volcanic National Park Volcanic History and Scenic Wonder

DRIVE TIPS • Distance:120 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 4-5 hours • Best Time to Go: June 1st through Oct. 15th

The very existence of Lassen Volcanic National Park is linked to a loud awakening of Lassen Peak in 1914.

This was a beginning of a seven-year cycle of sporadic volcanic outbursts with the major eruption occurring on May 19, 1915, with a massive collapse of the summit crater. Three days later a great explosion blasted out a new crater. The area was designated a National Park in 1916 because of its significance as an active volcanic landscape. The park is a compact laboratory of volcanic phenomena and associated thermal features. Several groups of hot springs and fumaroles remain as remnants of this volcanic activity. In an era that all too often ignores the importance of nature and special places, Lassen remains a sacred and enchanting destination.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 33 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 2 - 4 hours • Best Time to Go: Late May – November

Old Station / McCloud Creek, Rivers and Waterfalls This section of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway begins at the northern edge of Lassen Volcanic National Park and is a continuation of the volcanic terrain from Lassen. Old Station served as a stagecoach stop and military post in the early part of California’s settlement. Just north of Old Station is Subway Cave offering an opportunity to walk through a 1/3 mile long volcanic lava tube. Further along Hwy. 89 is Hat Creek, one of the best trout fly fishing streams in the country. Numerous access points, as well as campgrounds, provide the makings of a great summer vacation. The Intersection of Hwy. 89 and 299 allows for several optional side trips to the communities of Burney and Fall River Mills. North of the Intersection about six miles is what Theodore Roosevelt called the “eighth wonder of the world”— McArthur Burney Falls State Park. The never-changing water volume over the falls is what makes it so unique. The sources of most of its water are springs, just a 1/2 mile above the falls.

The scenic drive continues north on Hwy. 89 to the McCloud River and a chance to see three spectacular waterfalls—Lower, Middle and Upper McCloud Falls. Just to the west is McCloud, a great stopover or a place to enjoy the evening.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 70 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 3 hours • Best Time to Go: March - November

VOLCANIC LEGACY SCENIC BYWAY ALL AMERICAN ROAD Come Explore 500 Miles of Endless Beauty!

You will see fantastic sites - Mount Shasta jutting 14,179 feet above the valley floor, curtains of water showering over basalt cliffs at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, Lassen Volcanic National Park home to smoking fumaroles and clear mountain lakes and the majesty of Crater Lake National Park.

McCloud / Tulelake Shasta in View This portion of the All American Road has the distinction of having a view of Mount Shasta for almost the entire section.

Majestic Mount Shasta at 14,179 feet is the tallest volcano in California and can often be seen from more than 100 miles away.

For centuries, the mountain has served as the anchor for the Cascade Range, as a spiritual center for Native Americans, and as a nature lover’s and mountain climber’s paradise. Its interesting history, tales of lore, myths and legends continue to attract visitors from around the world who believe the mountain has a special spiritual aura. McCloud, on the southern slope of Mount Shasta, offers everything from luxury accommodations and fine dining to camping and picnicking. McCloud is a town of superlatives —from having the oldest golf course in Northern California to the oldest square and round dance venues in California. Moving up the byway, at the base of the mountain is Mt. Shasta City.

From the luxurious chalets at Mount Shasta Resort to the largest campground in the area on Lake Siskiyou, it’s a great place to stay. The city is known for its wide variety of bookstores, galleries, gift shops and good restaurants. Mt. Shasta City and Dunsmuir, just south of the byway, has a century long history as a railroad town. The town is one of the few places that you can actually spend the night in a 19th century railroad car. Railroad Park Resort has a collection of old cabooses and dining cars for a truly unique resort experience. Continuing north, Weed and its Historic Lumber Town Museum offer a collection of artifacts and antique logging equipment. Nearing the California border, the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge has the distinction of being the first refuge set aside for waterfowl in the nation. It is also home to the largest concentration of wintering American bald eagles in the continental United States. The community of Tulelake is known as the horseradish growing capital of the world with more than 1/3 of the world’s crop grown in the area. Lava Beds National Monument showcases unusual volcanic features and was the site of the only Native American/US Army battle in California history.

The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway continues 140 miles north into Oregon, ending at Crater Lake National Park. Along the way, you’ll pass through Klamath Falls, then continue along the west side of Upper Klamath Lake where kayaking, canoeing and birding opportunities abound, before reaching magnificent Crater Lake. Drive or bike around the lake on the 33-mile Rim Drive to soak in the scenery surrounding the deepest freshwater lake in the continental United States.

DRIVE TIPS • Distance: 100 miles • Minimum Driving Time: 2 - 4 hours • Best Time to Go: April - November; winter for refuges

Explore the culture and history of a beautiful and mysterious region dotted with evidence of an eruptive past!

BUTTE COUNTY

T

ART, CULTURE, HISTORIC WONDERS, RICH AGRICULTURAL LANDS

he city of Chico is a testament to community spirit. In 1860, General John Bidwell founded Chico on a portion of his 28,000-acre ranch. To encourage the development of a quality community, he donated land to anyone willing to build a house, church, or any other public structure and, in 1887, gave land for the development of an agriculture college. As part of the effort to create their ideal city, the General and his wife funded Bidwell Park, now the largest municipal park west of the Mississippi River.

California State University Chico developed from that early agricultural college and has helped shape the thriving community. The city’s numerous art and glass blowing studios have helped Chico become one of America’s “Top 10 Art Communities”. The downtown is known for its eclectic collection of restaurants and shops, blending modern technology and wares with beautiful classic architecture and cobblestone walkways. It is certainly worthy of an afternoon stroll or a weekend visit.

From rolling hills of pick-your-own lavender and waving fields of rice, to sit-down dinners in 100-year-old olive groves, Butte County’s farms and unique trails provide off-the-beaten path adventure and fun. Whether you are a seasoned foodie looking for a new experience or a novice taster of beer, wine, or beef, there is something for everyone— literally.

Take for instance, the 30 destinations on the www.SierraOro.org farm trail.

Wind your way through the idyllic countryside and discover a treasure trove of wineries, family owned farms and ranches, fresh markets, olive groves and lavender fields.

Paradise is no fable! It’s a short drive from Chico, a haven just out of the reach of the valley fog but below the heavy snows of the Sierra. Gold played an important part of the community’s history, including the 1859 discovery of the largest nugget

ever found in California, weighing 54 pounds! Paradise is known for its friendly community and impressive collection of antique shops.

Oroville, nestled among the Sutter Buttes, was an early gold mining camp and home to hundreds of ambitious miners along the Feather River. Lake Oroville was created in 1968, and almost overnight the little mining town in the Buttes became one of California’s most recognized recreation meccas. Notable attractions include Feather Falls, the sixth highest waterfall in the United States, the nation’s tallest earthen dam at Lake Oroville, the Chinese Temple Museum filled with rare Chinese antiques, and Bolt's Antique Tool Museum. The Lake Oroville Visitor Center has an outstanding historical Maidu Indian display that depicts life before the coming of Euro-Americans.

The town of Gridley claims the heart of the Sacramento Valley. In the late 1800’s, gold discovery led to the development of this historic Gold Rush town. The several hundred days of warm, sunny weather and the abundance of water have established Gridley as a home for many ranchers, who found their true treasure in the development of the rich agricultural land.

LASSEN COUNTY

L

EAGLE LAKE TROUT, LOGGING HERITAGE, OUTDOOR RECREATION

assen County, largely undiscovered outside of its loyal band of followers, is a jewel of Northern California and an outdoor recreation paradise. The mountainous west encourages camping, hiking, and fishing and often hosts ardent fans of snowmobiling, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing. Visitors to Lassen County can take advantage of the Bizz Johnson Trail known as one of the best “rail to trail” conversions in California. The trail was named for Congressman Harold T. “Bizz” Johnson,

and winds 25.4 miles through the rugged Susan River Canyon. It follows the old Southern Pacific Railroad line and features twelve bridges, two tunnels and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The trail offers equestrian, hiking, and mountain bike trails, and the popular day hikes can be started from many of the trailheads. In the winter, cross-country skiers and snowmobiles use the upper reaches. Camping and fishing are also allowed along the trail, and shuttles between trailheads can be scheduled.

Susanville serves as the recreational crossroads for the eastern part of the Shasta Cascade Region, as well as a commercial center with a variety of shops, health facilities, restaurants, and motels. Historic Susanville provides a refreshing opportunity to experience a town which still honors the lifestyle and neighborly hospitality of an era long passed. Westwood, located just west of Susanville, was built by the Red River Lumber Company in 1912, and was one of the largest company lumber towns in the West. A statue of legendary logger Paul Bunyan staggers 24 feet tall, honoring Westwood’s heritage and presiding over the annual Paul Bunyan Mountain Festival.

Lake Almanor and Mt Lassen Photo: Jeff Titcomb

Eagle Lake is another one of Northern California’s record holders: the second largest natural lake in California is located 16 miles north of Susanville and is home to the world famous Eagle Lake Trout, a species entirely unique to the lake. These especially

large trout average 3-5 lbs and attract fishing enthusiasts from all over the west. Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service camping facilities are located around the lake’s shoreline and a boat launch, marina, swimming beach, picnic areas, and various family recreation programs are available. Lassen County is the perfect getaway offering year-round outdoor recreation experiences from summer camping, hiking, and fishing to autumn hunting, winter snowmobiling and sledding, and wildlife watching in the spring.

Lassen County is also home to Susanville Ranch Park, 1,100 beautiful acres of meadows and hills offering mountain biking, equestrian, and running/walking opportunities and events throughout the year.

The park provided a rich diversity of resources for native peoples for thousands of years before European settlers arrived in the region. The convergence of forest, meadow, and high desert environments made for good hunting opportunities and good sources of water. A walk in this park provides insight into past cultures, making it apparent why the first people chose such a beautiful place to live. Often referred to as California’s geographic crossroads, the park boasts impressive biodiversity, with beaver ponds, willows, cottonwoods, watercress, amphibians, reptiles, small and large mammals, birds, and fish.

MODOC COUNTY WILD-WEST HISTORY, LAKES, MOUNTAINS & OUTSTANDING WILDLIFE VIEWING

M

odoc County, in the far northeast corner of California, combines a fabulous four-season climate with abundant natural resources and a colorful “Wild West” history. With less than 10,000 residents, its quiet atmosphere offers a peaceful setting for a family vacation or a private retreat.

Recreation opportunities abound especially in the warm, dry summers, which encourage camping, hiking, fishing, water sports, and many other activities. Truly a land of varied terrain, Modoc County includes one of California’s most beautiful mountain ranges, the Warner Mountains, with their clear alpine streams and, in contrast, portions of high desert dotted with serene lakes. You can visit turn-of-the-century towns, ranches and farmlands in Modoc, frequently compared to the beautiful expanses of Montana, and often called the “place where the west still lives”. Abundant marshes, forests, plains, and lakes provide an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife; Modoc County and the National Wildlife Refuge are home to bald eagles, peregrine falcons, goshawks, golden eagles and many other endangered species. Rocky Mountain mule deer and elk, wild horses, burros and pronghorn antelope are just a few of Modoc County’s happy inhabitants.

The spectacular Volcanic Legacy AllAmerican Road takes visitors through the lower Klamath and Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuges, and the Lava Beds National Monument. The Lava Beds National Monument sits on the northern flank of one of the largest volcanoes in the Cascades. Lava flows from the Medicine Lake Volcano shaped the monument’s rugged terrain, creating a wealth of geologic wonders. Volcanic vents, including numerous spatter cones, massive craters, and imposing cinder cones, cover the landscape, punctuated by black lava flows. Hidden within these

flows are more than 700 lava tube caves, remnants of the arteries that transported lava from its source.

Though it may look inhospitable at first glance, this high desert landscape harbors a surprising amount of life. Micro-climates created at cave entrances and in the cracks and crevices of blocky lava flows provide habitat for Pacific tree frogs and pikas. Even humans have lived here for about 10,500 years; evidence of the Modoc Tribe and their ancestors can be seen in the thousands of carvings at Petroglyph Point, or the pictographs at Symbol Bridge, both dating between 4,000 and 6,000 years old. As settlers began to colonize the area, conflicts arose with the Modocs, leading to the Modoc War of 18721873. Explore sites like Captain Jack’s Stronghold, where sixty Modoc warriors held off nearly 1,000 U.S. troops for five months. Illuminate the darkness and mystery of a cave, find solitude by hiking in 28,000 acres of wilderness, and discover the past at Lava Beds National Monument.

Alturas lies in the broad valley of the Pit River near the center of Modoc County, at the junction of Highways 395 and 299. This cordial city serves as the commercial center for northeastern California, with a variety of motels as well as a historic hotel, modern and historic shops, and restaurants. Cedarville, centrally located in the cattle ranching hub of Surprise Valley, is home to an unusual exhibit of historically significant buildings relocated to Cedarville, now comprising the mythical town of “Louisville”. The visit-worthy Shasta Cascade Visitors Guide 2014/2015 21

fictitious town consists of log cabins, a slaughterhouse, schoolhouse, water tower, and the old Fort Bidwell and Eagleville jails from the 1800s.

The Modoc National Forest and Bureau of Land Management offer several campgrounds with hundreds of family camping sites available. Modoc County also provides a variety of bed & breakfast inns featuring amenities such as hot springs, ranch living, fishing, or wilderness access.

PLUMAS COUNTY

R

BRILLIANT FALL COLORS, LAKE-VIEW GOLF, RUGGED CANYONS

ugged canyons, glassy lakes, trout filled streams, picturesque meadows, pine forests, mountain golf resorts, and star-filled skies are all part of what define Plumas County. Quincy offers beauty, solitude, clean air, and an unhurried pace with an abundance of recreation and relaxation available during all four seasons. The area where the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges meet boasts dozens of lakes, thousands of miles of rivers and streams, and over a million acres of National Forest.

As the county seat, Quincy is a commercial center, home to museums, shopping, and a number of motels, offering an excellent opportunity for mountain vacationers. Nearby are beautiful Bucks Lake and La Porte.

Bucks Lake is a very popular spot for fishing and hunting as well as an excellent winter retreat for crosscountry skiers and snowmobilers.

La Porte also attracts visitors for camping, fishing, swimming, and winter sports activities.

The Chester/Lake Almanor Basin is a renowned recreational paradise. The city of Chester, adjacent to Lassen Volcanic National Park, offers a wide variety of lodging, some of the closest available to the park, which makes it the perfect choice for a relaxing, cozy “home base” for parkgoers. The Warner Valley portion of the park, including Drakesbad Guest Ranch, is accessible from Chester, and serves as the only overnight accommodations within the Park. This secluded resort offers a serene alpine meadow setting with comfortable cabins & bungalows. Likewise, the resorts of Lake Almanor provide ideal settings for an old-fashioned summer family vacation. The lake is the largest and most popular in Plumas County, and affords year-round fishing, several championship golf courses and, in the summer, various water sports activities. Indian Valley, located between Lake Almanor and Quincy, was originally the home of the mountain Maidu people and proudly

retains its historical heritage.

The Blairsden/Graeagle/Portola area has gained prominence in recent years as a planned residential center for vacationers and retirees. Eastern Plumas County has six pristine golf courses, several stables, and in nearby Portola, the world-renowned Portola Railroad Museum. Also accessible are Lake Davis and Frenchman Reservoir, two popular trout fishing lakes. This rural mountain retreat offers a kind of peaceful relaxation and untouched natural beauty difficult to find in the otherwise modern, hurried world.

Dozens of events, fascinating museums, recreation options, and scenic drives offer plenty to do year-round. Greenville Historic Main Street exemplifies the charm of Western American towns, and old saloons and bordellos are being refurbished into modern day stores of finery and fashion. Plumas is one of only two counties in California participating in the National Barn Quilt Trail, with barn quilts all over Plumas County, most notably in Indian Valley. Barn quilts are painted wood or metal, hung or freestanding on the outsides of barns, fences, garages and businesses. Plumas County celebrates the barn quilt tradition every September by having a countywide driving tour to see all of the quilts. Consider seeing the best of Plumas County from a two-wheeled perspective: a myriad of bicycle rides throughout the county draw hundreds Shasta Cascade Visitors Guide 2014/2015 25

of participants. Ride through the winding country roads, past lakes and streams, and gradual climbs up the mountain. Beat your personal best in Indian Valley’s Running With The Bears Marathon—a Boston Marathon qualifying race.

One of the best kept secrets of Plumas County is the clear blue waters of Lake Almanor and its stunning views of Mt. Lassen. Lake Almanor itself is a destination for many outdoor recreational opportunities and is one of the prettiest lakes in the Northern California region. Boat docks, boat rentals, and other watercraft can be rented for week long excursions. Whether you are looking for a quiet vacation, a spot to retire, or to Snow Mobiles, Lake Almanor

Dear Mom and Dad,

Remember when you said I needed to play outside more? Well, I learned of these cool highways in northern California that take you to places where you can fish, hike, and swim. They are called Scenic Byways and are a part of the National Forests.

I would really love to take a drive one Saturday and check them out. I could even mark some tasks off of my “Life List.”

Think of the adventure we could have!

edding will prove irresistible to the adventurous vacationer. As the largest California city north of Sacramento, it is both a recreational hub and epicenter of commerce with essentials such as parks, shopping, theaters, golf, dining, and city trails. Redding boasts everything from shopping at the Mt. Shasta Mall to the artistic and educational Turtle Bay Exploration Park.

Landing a spot in calendars and coffee table books the world over, the internationally-renowned Sundial Bridge stretches over the Sacramento River and welcomes you to Redding’s National Recreation Trail, which is part of a 226 mile network of pedestrian and cycling trails within a 10 mile radius of the city. This section of the trail network can be enjoyed year-round by enthusiasts of all strides. A wide variety of hotels and restaurants make Redding the first choice for those wishing to experience the northstate’s outdoor wonderland while still enjoying all the amenities of a city. Just west of town is the historic mining settlement of Shasta State Historic Park, and immediately beyond that is Whiskeytown Lake, a favorite for sailing, swimming, paddleboarding, water skiing, wakeboarding, canoeing, kayaking, and waterfall exploration. A magnet for mountain biking enthusiasts, the lake area offers bike trails for every skill level along with picnicking and camping, as well as fishing, hiking, hunting, and horseback riding. The lake and its surrounding hills are dedicated as a National Recreation Area and the 220 foot Whiskeytown Falls are a destination in and of themselves.

floating luxury condominiums. In addition to houseboating, several lakeside resorts and RV parks provide a relaxing vacation alternative to get away from it all. The lake was formed by one of the engineering marvels of the 20th century: Shasta Dam, the tallest center overflow dam in the world. If every family in the USA had a swimming pool, the water held back by the dam would be enough to fill every one of them! Dam tours are free, available daily, and include a ride into the heart of the dam in a forty-story elevator. Another attraction on the lake is Lake Shasta Caverns, dated at least 200 million years, and formed by flowing water. Over the years this water drained leaving the caverns as seen today. The caves are made entirely of limestone and feature every type of possible formation, including stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, columns, and flowstone.

With Shasta Lake being the largest recreational reservoir in California, it’s no surprise that it offers a wide variety of vacation experiences. Shasta Lake, holding the title of “Houseboat Capital of the World,” welcomes all from basic campers on pontoons, to

North of Shasta Lake, the Sacramento River extends into one of the best fishing streams in California, with a record fishing year for salmon, steelhead, and trout in 2012. Northern California is truly a fishing paradise and just about any of its cities and towns can provide interested visitors with equipment, advice and directions to the best waters.

“Explore the undiscovered lands of Northeastern California” once at the top of the trail, hikers will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Crags and of Mount Shasta.

To the south of Redding, Anderson and Cottonwood are located on the Sacramento River and provide small town atmospheres reminiscent of a bygone era. Anderson serves as host to the region’s only factory outlet shopping center, Shasta Outlets. Anderson River Park has acres of trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding or a leisurely stroll.

The park showcases the Summer Serenade concert series, with picnic areas, river access, handicap fishing access, and a challenging

Eastern Shasta County combines cool mountain air, rich agricultural land, troutfilled streams, and beautiful lakes, such as Lake Britton, Big Lake, Fall River Lake, Eastman, Crystal and Baum Lakes. All accommodate activities such as sailing, water sports, and fishing. The Fall River valley produces 25% of the world’s wild rice. The town of Fall River Mills proudly plays host to one of the region’s beloved museums, the

Fort Crook Museum, which preserves the 150 year-old log buildings built to serve as an outpost. Shasta County’s eastern region also features the town of Burney, a humble logging town now developed into a popular destination, and only a few minutes from McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. Theodore Roosevelt called the park the “eighth wonder of the world” with its magnificent 129-foot Burney Falls, which flows at 100 million gallons of water every day. The never-changing water volume over the falls is what makes it so unusual. The sources of most of the water are springs, just a ½ mile above the falls. Nature’s beauty and numerous unequaled attractions make Eastern Shasta County a recreation paradise.

Heading east on Highway 44 from the Sacramento Valley, you’ll find the northern entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park, home to Manzanita Lake and the Loomis Museum. The park boasts incredible mountain scenery reminiscent of Yosemite, as well as fascinating thermal wonders similar to Yellowstone, with a fraction of the visitors. Lassen offers three different types of geothermal features (steam vents, mudpots, and hot springs), all four types of volcanoes (shield, plug dome, cinder cone, and composite), and all types of naturally occurring lakes! Near Lassen Peak, the road reaches 8,512 feet, making it the highest road in the Cascade Mountain range.

Just north of Lassen Volcanic National Park is Hat Creek, famous for its spring fed waters and abundant rainbow trout. Numerous volcanic features in the area are highlighted

by Subway Cave, an underground, easilyexplored phenomenon. Campgrounds and picnic areas adjacent to the creek provide for memorable weekend getaways or perfect stops for a quick lunch.

Sundial Bridge Located on the Sacramento River in Redding, the Sundial Bridge is one of California’s most unusual icons. Redding commissioned world famous Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava (architect for the Athens Olympic Stadium) to design a pedestrian bridge over the Sacramento River, linking the Turtle Bay Exploration Park’s museum, to its new Arboretum and Gardens, and as a trailhead for Redding’s extensive Sacramento River National Recreation Trail. One of design’s criteria given Calatrava, was to design a bridge that would not impact the nearby spawning grounds for the winter run Chinook salmon. The 710-foot-long bridge spans the river without footings in the water. Its walking surface is translucent glass, so as not to cast a dark shadow on the spawning gravels below the bridge. This design achieved this goal with an inclined 21 story tall pylon built on the north bank of the river that supports the entire river span. Also, because of the exact north-south orientation of the bridge, the pylon serves as the upright element of a sundial, making it the world’s tallest working sundial.

Brandy Creek Falls Trail

Our Story... …is one that’s rooted deeply in the North State. The area boasts especially of its natural wonders, attracting visitors from all over the globe. We welcome people looking to escape the fastpaced city life, and embrace those with adventurous spirits.

With a backdrop of breathtaking scenery and an abundance of recreational and professional opportunities, it’s no wonder Coldwell Banker C&C Properties (CBCC) has been helping families find homes in Shasta, Tehama, and Butte counties for the past 33 years.

CBCC was founded by a local father and son team that has since established the company as the premier real estate firm in the North State. With seven office locations and the largest network of real estate professionals throughout the North State, we rank #1 in sales and listings in Shasta County, year after year. In fact, we’ve been voted “Best in the North State” by Redding.com/Record Searchlight readers for the last 6 years straight!

A large part of CBCC’s success is the investment of our own agents to the local area. We’ve raised our families here, built up businesses, created traditions and nurtured long-lasting relationships with our clients for many years. Most importantly, we’ve become trusted advisors and helped countless families find the perfect place in one of our serviced counties to call home.

We know all too well that moving to a new community can be difficult, and finding answers to questions can be daunting.

CBCC has a specialized Relocation Department in place that can provide a wealth of information to those who have ever been curious about the crown jewels of Northern California.

Lynn Scott, our Relocation Director, has assembled an excellent team of agents that will make the move to our area as efficient and enjoyable as possible. We have the necessary skills to provide local tours, temporary housing, rental options, home purchases, and settling-in services.

And because we’re all family here, we make it a priority to continuously deliver outstanding services to those choosing to leave the local area. We provide our outgoing clients with area information about their new home in any state, data to compare, moving options, selling services, and home purchase options. With so much effort going into relocating from one

place to another, it’s our pleasure to act as ambassadors for the North State, introducing our newest families to everything our area has to offer, as well as ensuring those leaving us are taken care of every step of the way.

We’ve helped families move across county lines and across the country for years through our Relocation Department. It’s even more thrilling when we have the opportunity to bring our military members home. Shasta, Tehama, and Butte counties have a robust veteran community of approximately 40,000, with support and specialized services coming from the California Department of Veterans Affairs, the Northern California Veterans Museum & Heritage Center, and the newly established veterans’ hospital in Redding.

We hold our service members in the highest esteem, not only because of their sacrifices and what they give back to our community, but also because Steve Craft, owner and CEO of CBCC, is a veteran himself. As a company, we’ve pledged to serve our veterans with honor and respect, and to be attentive to their special needs.

In order to do so, CBCC has developed an exclusive partnership with USAA to offer the benefits of their MoversAdvantage program to our veterans who are interested in buying and selling real estate. Through this program, veterans can receive up to $3,100 as a cash rebate for the sale or purchase of a home. The entire process is facilitated by a certified MoversAdvantage REALTOR from CBCC whose primary focus is providing the same level of high quality service veterans expect from USAA. Just like only an elite few have the privilege to wear our military’s uniform, only Coldwell Banker C&C Properties can offer our veteran clients this amazing service in the North State. This is just Fall oneRiver way we Sunset can give back to those who have so selflessly served in our nation’s military, and we’re honored to do it.

If you’re considering a move to or from the North State, contact Lynn Scott today. We’re confident our Relocation Department has the information and resources to fit your needs. She will match you with the best relocation-certified agent to help you achieve your goals. We look forward to showing you what we have to offer!

SISKIYOU COUNTY SCENIC RIVERS, GOLD RUSH AND RANCHING HISTORY

S

iskiyou County is truly defined by its combination of California Gold Rush history and the natural wonder of the Klamath River. Flowing from Oregon to the Pacific Ocean, it is the predominant river in the region, and its tributary rivers and streams provide some of the most exciting rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing in Northern California.

Anglers from around the world are attracted to the area by the world-class wild trout fishing along the McCloud and Upper Sacramento Rivers.

From the splashing of Hedge Creek Falls in Dunsmuir to the dramatic descent of the Upper McCloud Falls, waterfalls are attractions that soothe the soul. For the train enthusiast, Dunsmuir offers a self-guided railroad photography tour, while the Railroad Park Resort offers a unique experience to sleep in a caboose and dine on a train. In McCloud, step back in time and give your sweet tooth a whirl at the Sugar Pine Candy Store in the McCloud River Mercantile.

Mount Shasta, the prominent landmark of the Shasta Cascade region, is known as one of the sacred mountains of the world. The small communities around the mountain offer the spiritual energy and peace of mind one looks for when they want to get away from the stress of normal life.

Visitors who come to experience the wonder of spectacular Mount Shasta will find exceptional access to the mountain year round via the Everett Memorial Highway. On the southern slopes of Mount Shasta off Hwy. 89 is Mt. Shasta Ski Park, offering 425 acres of outstanding downhill skiing and boarding, as well as tubing and cross country skiing. Outside of the ski park, Mount Shasta and its glaciers beckon back country skiers and mountain climbers from all over the world. The summer climbing season runs from April until October, though climbers still make the ascent in winter months. Guide services are available.

Upper McCloud Falls

North of Mount Shasta, the town of Yreka was born out of one of the largest gold strikes in California history and is still shaped by this discovery. It is home to a number of Gold Rush-era monuments and parks.

Remarkably, more than 70 pre-1900 houses are still located in Yreka, and this older part of town in the area of West Miner Street is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

The Siskiyou County Museum is an interpretive center for the area’s colorful history and includes exhibits, programs, and a research library.

To the east of Yreka, through the beautiful Shasta Valley, is Montague, where visitors can enjoy a stroll through this historic cattle ranching and logging town. Every September, Montague holds one of the biggest events in the region – the Montague Balloon Fair, which attracts pilots and crews, fun-seekers and nature enthusiasts from all over the United States. For bird watchers, Montague offers excellent year-round birding in the Shasta Valley Wildlife Area, which is home to over 300 bird species.

Scott Valley is a rich ranching area nestled in the mountains southwest of Yreka, dotted with tiny communities dating back to the Gold Rush Era. Visitors today will find interesting shops, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, and an excellent microbrewery in Etna.

TEHAMA COUNTY WESTERN RANCHING HERITAGE, OLIVES AND ANTIQUES

A

t the northern end of the great Sacramento Valley and just 90 minutes north of Sacramento lies a land of beautiful contrasts: Tehama County.

The strong western heritage will capture your heart and awaken your spirit. Some of the best western events in California occur in Red Bluff, including the Red Bluff Round-Up Rodeo, and the Annual Bull and Gelding Sale, the largest in the nation. These and other western events attract people from all over the west. Although it certainly plays a key role in the identity of the area, the western lifestyle is not the only intriguing aspect of Red Bluff’s past and present: it was the home of the first and only president of the California Republic, William B. Ide. His original adobe home has been fully restored and is now part of The William B. Ide Adobe State Historic Park.

One of the area’s most dominant natural features, the Sacramento River provides an endless variety of outdoor recreation and is one of the largest salmon spawning rivers in the world.

Its various tributaries offer hundreds of miles of the best-in-the-west trout, steelhead, and salmon fishing. From fishing to jet boat excursions, the Sacramento River is the perfect spot for boating enthusiasts.

Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale Photo: Jill Dinsmore

Red Bluff, combining elements of the Victorian era and western heritage, provides numerous hotels, motels, and restaurants to cater to the traveler or vacationer. The old Victorian west lives on in Red Bluff with Victorian homes built from the 1860’s to the early 1900’s. Walk into a vanishing America at the KellyGriggs House Museum, and view elegant, renovated rooms where Victorian-garbed mannequins “live” among authentic antique furnishings.

The rich heritage of the area makes it one of Northern California’s most prominent destinations for antiques and collectibles. Red Bluff is also considered a gateway to the famous Lassen Volcanic National Park, one of the few active volcanoes on the United States mainland. Established

as a national park on August 9, 1916, it encompasses 160 miles of spectacular volcanic exhibits and the impressive Lassen Peak.

Just south on Interstate 5 is the town of Corning, founded as an agricultural center back in the 1860’s and acknowledged as the center of Northern California’s internationally renowned olive industry- most famously, the Lucero Olive Oil company. Lucero Olive Oil is the result of four generations of farming and producing olives in Northern California. The rural community of Corning has some of the oldest olive trees in California, and many of these century-old trees continue to flourish in the Lucero family groves.

Other towns in the Sacramento River Valley include Los Molinos, Gerber, Tehama, Vina, Paskenta, and Flournoy. These small communities provide important local services to the agriculture of the fertile Sacramento River Valley. Manton, nestled in the foothills of Lassen Peak, offers excellent hiking, fishing and breathtaking views of Lassen Peaks. The nutrient rich volcanic soil, warm days, and cool nights not only produce first rate apples, but create exceptional conditions for grape growing. Tehama County is rapidly becoming Northern California’s wine destination with wineries nestled in picturesque settings. Discover intriguing Abbey of New Clairvaux, once home to the largest wine operation in the world during the late 1800’s. Today, the property is a Shasta Cascade Visitors Guide 2014/2015 55

working Cistercian or “Trappist” monastery, founded in Vina in 1955. Father Paul Mark Schwan, Abbot of the monastery, and Aimée Sunseri, fifth generation California winemaker, have combined their vision and passion for wine and history to create a unique and memorable wine experience.

Come discover Tehama County’s old fashion hospitality, numerous lakes, streams, and outstanding recreational opportunities.

TRINITY COUNTY

K

ALPINE LAKES, NATURAL WONDERS, WILD & SCENIC RIVERS

nown for its gracious hospitality, mining history, and many outdoor splendors, the lure of gold is what brought settlement to the area. Even before the gold rush, pirate Bill English and his rogue crew discovered gold on Trinity River near Big Bar and left the area with their purses full. It was the eventual discovery of gold in 1849 that brought thousands of miners to the area and the construction of such towns as Weaverville and Lewiston.

Most of the county is forest land and some of the most beautiful scenery and natural lakes are found in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, so named because its snow-capped peaks are reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. The Trinity River, designated as a wild and scenic river, provides opportunities for kayaking, rafting, fishing, and swimming. If jagged peaks over 9,000 feet tall, saw tooth ridges, alpine meadows, deep glaciated canyons, and more than 50 mountain lakes and streams are what you’re seeking, the Trinity Alps Wilderness is waiting for you. This 500,000-acre wilderness area is the second largest in California and one of the largest in the United States.

Weaverville, located along Highway 299, provides a nostalgic step back in time. One of the most interesting portions of Weaverville’s history comes from the 1800’s, when as many Chinese men and women inhabited the region as did Euro-Americans, all of them searching for the abundant gold found nearby. In 1852 they established a Taoist temple, which burned in 1873. The new temple, Joss House in the state park of the same name, dedicated in April of 1875, has since been in continuous use as a place of worship.

Reminiscent of a frontier village, Hayfork is home to the nearby Natural Bridge, which is both Rafting The Trinity River Photo courtesy: Trinity River Rafting

historically interesting and an unusual natural phenomenon. Natural Bridge is a limestone arch thrown across a narrow ravine by nature and holds strong ties to the Native Americans who inhabit the area. Lewiston offers history buffs great opportunities to explore, along with wonderful photographic opportunities including twenty of the town’s structures which are listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

Trinity Lake, the third largest lake in California, has 147 miles of shoreline and is uncrowded even during the peak summer months. The many secluded, tree-lined coves are perfect for anglers and houseboaters.

Its crystal clear waters contain a variety of prize fish including trout, smallmouth bass, and King Salmon.

Resorts in the Coffee Creek area, just north of Trinity Lake, offer horseback riding, cabins, and recreational activities. Nearby Lewiston Lake offers boating, fishing, swimming and camping experiences, while marinas on Trinity Lake also rent houseboats and other types of watercraft. In Southern Trinity County, Ruth Lake offers similar boating and fishing opportunities. All this and more makes for the relaxing vacation of a lifetime or just a few days away.

BOATING

I

f you are looking for relatively uncrowded waters, great fishing opportunities, a relaxing houseboating vacation, exhilarating watersports, a shoreline cabin or camping spot, or just a peaceful day on a patio boat to get away from it all, the Shasta Cascade’s numerous lakes are sure to please.

Shasta Lake, just 20 miles north of Redding and visible from Interstate 5, is the crown jewel of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. With 365 miles of shoreline, 10 marinas and over 300 rental houseboats, it is known as the houseboating capital of the western U.S. The hundreds of coves, clean glassy waters and numerous species of fish have attracted watersport enthusiasts and anglers from far and wide for decades. Powerboats, ski/ wakeboard boats, fishing boats, patio boats and personal watercraft are available to rent at most marinas. Besides luxurious upscale houseboats, lakeside campgrounds, RV parks and resorts provide a relaxing escape.

Shasta Lake is also the gateway to awe-inspiring caverns, reachable only by boat.

Whiskeytown Lake, just 8 miles west of Redding, is a lovely, placid body of water nestled in the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. Its 36 miles of shoreline offer excellent fishing, kayaking, rowing, swimming and scuba diving. Generations of sailors have enjoyed this quiet lake for sail boating, and the Whiskeytown Memorial Regatta has celebrated 45 years of racing.

Eastward in Butte County is Lake Oroville, formed by the Oroville Dam crossing the Feather River. This hub for boating and fishing enthusiasts also offers camping, biking and hiking trails and equestrian activities. Lake Oroville is a bass angler’s paradise, and the lake hosts several tournaments every year.

Boat rentals include everything from kayaks to houseboats.

Trinity Lake, with 147 miles

of shoreline, is the third largest lake in California yet remains uncrowded even during the peak summer months. The many secluded, tree-lined coves are perfect for anglers and houseboaters and its crystal clear waters contain a variety of prize fish including trout, smallmouth bass and King Salmon. Just south of Trinity is Lewiston Lake, a favorite for fly fisherman as Rainbow, Brown and Brook trout are abundant. Ruth Lake, a seven-mile long reservoir located in the southern portion of Trinity County and formed by the damming of the Mad River in 1962, lies in calm, lovely surroundings of hills covered by ponderosa pine and white fir. It is also especially appreciated for its rainbow trout and bass.

Lake Shastina and Lake Siskiyou, both about an

hour or so north of Redding, present the majestic Mt. Shasta as a backdrop. On Shastina, kayakers and paddleboarders will appreciate the pristine mountain waters and frequent gusty afternoon winds creating ideal conditions for windsurfing and sailing.

Nestled in Lassen Volcanic National Park is Lake Almanor.

With 52 miles of shoreline it offers over 300 campsites.

World class fishing, watersports, camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, birdwatching and championship golf abound.

These and the many other smaller lakes of the Shasta Cascade region make for a water enthusiast’s wonderland.

Whatever your pleasure or itinerary, there’s a beautiful, unique lake within easy driving distance.

FISHING

N

orthern California fishing offers a wide variety of opportunities on rivers, streams and lakes. Some of the best fishing in California is located in the Shasta Cascade Region and whether it’s fly fishing for trout, seeking out the best cove for bass, or spin fishing on a mountain river, virtually anyone can enjoy casting a line.

Lakes dominate the Northstate and are full of a variety of species to include bass, trout, catfish, kokanee, salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and sunfish. Bass fishermen love Shasta Lake as it’s the largest man-made lake in the state and has plenty of natural and planted structures for the game fish to prosper. Trout and salmon flourish in the cool waters of Shasta Lake, causing fishermen to do extremely well. Trinity Lake is known for its smallmouth bass and has even produced a state record fish.

The region is also home to some of the best fly fishing in California, including a 9 mile stretch of the McCloud River below Lake McCloud, a 3.5 mile stretch of Lower Hat Creek east of Burney, and a 23 mile section of Fall River near Fall River Mills.

The Sacramento River, as it goes through Redding, is rated one of the top 5 tail water trout fisheries in the world. The Upper Sacramento River, known as a blue ribbon trout fishery, draws fly fishermen from all over the west. Almost 40 miles of river are available from Box Canyon to Shasta Lake and produce trout up to 18 inches.

The Trinity River is known for its excellent fly fishing for both trout and steelhead. In season, the salmon fishing is unbelievable and there are many times when it’s hard to not catch a salmon in the Trinity River.

Lewiston Lake and Trinity Lake each afford opportunities for both bank fishing and trolling, while numerous high alpine lakes in the Trinity Alps provide the fishermen willing to take a hike with the opportunity to catch an elusive brook trout or rainbow.

The Klamath River is world renowned for trout, steelhead, and salmon fishing. There are numerous spots to stop from Willow Creek north on Highway 96, all the way up to Happy Camp. Several quality guide services using drift boats can take the dedicated angler out for an experience of a lifetime.

Other fishing experiences worth noting are in the eastern portion of the Shasta Cascade Region. They include Eagle Lake with its world famous Eagle Lake trout. This trout is found nowhere else, and because of the unusual chemistry of the water in Eagle Lake, it is the only trout that can survive there.

Further south, Lake Almanor, Antelope Lake, Frenchman Reservoir, and Bucks Lake are just a few of the mountain lakes which will provide unforgettable fishing experiences.

Several of these lakes have marinas or resorts which rent fishing boats. View an up-to-date weekly fishing report at www.shastacascade. com/fishing.

VINEYARDS & WINERIES

I

t may come as a surprise that the Shasta Cascade region is home to a plethora of award winning estate and family owned vineyards and wineries. The unique spectrum of soils, microclimates and varying elevations provides the conditions to grow a wide variety of grapes, thereby producing a wonderfully diverse selection of wines. You won’t find commercial, mass-production here.

With only small pockets to plant vineyards, one-of-a-kind wines are produced with outstanding depth of flavor and complexity.

Although Shasta Cascade has only recently been recognized as a respectable wine-making destination, some of its vineyards date back to the California mission era of the late 18th century. Father Junipero Serra can be credited for generating the first varietals in the northern California regions. The Catholic Church used these grapes originally to make communion wines.

The Shasta Cascade viticulture area spans the vast region from southernmost Tehama County to the Siskiyous northward. Over 30 vineyards and wineries, many with intimate tasting rooms that capture the ambiance of what Napa and Sonoma used to be, dot the north state. Chico, Oroville, Redding, Cottonwood, Vina, Manton, Yreka, Trinity Center and others in between these communities are home to charming wineries nestled in the picturesque countryside.

But if you don’t want to venture to the wineries themselves, most major retailers and local wine bars and restaurants proudly feature Shasta Cascade regional wines.

Discover your favorite wine, either red or white, from Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel to Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Reisling to name just a few. Shasta Cascade may surprise you, by becoming your favorite wine-tasting destination.

Few travelers are familiar with the three park units located in the Shasta Cascade Region, yet these sites contain nationally significant scenic and cultural resources, which are of comparable quality to the more famous parks in the National Park system. The natural areas offer fascinating variety-lush forests, past and current volcanic activity, fields of wildflowers, and natural and man-made lakes. They serve as precious habitat for wild creatures, bears, mountain lions, foxes, deer, eagles, owls and waterfowl. These parks offer both natural beauty and historical interest. Even during the summer months, they are not heavily used, so you may explore them and learn their secrets at your leisure.
