Shasta-Trinity National Forest — Attraction in Shasta Lake

The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is a beautiful and expansive forest located in northern California. It encompasses over 2.2 million acres and offers a wide range of recreational opportunities for visitors. The forest is known for its stunning mountain landscapes, pristine lakes, and diverse wildlife.

There are numerous trails available for hiking and backpacking, ranging from easy day hikes to more challenging multi-day treks. Some popular trails include the Pacific Crest Trail, Trinity Alps Wilderness, and Castle Crags State Park. These trails offer breathtaking views, access to alpine lakes, and opportunities to explore the forest's rugged terrain.

In addition to hiking, the Shasta-Trinity National Forest also offers opportunities for camping, fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. With its abundance of lakes, rivers, and streams, the forest is a great destination for fishing enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy catching trout, salmon, and steelhead in the region's pristine waters.

I live in the true Northern California, in Redding. We are surrounded by both beauty and recreation. Including Turtle Bay Museum and the Sundial Bridge, and The Sacramento River.

Don't let the drought...

The camp fees were super low compared to Swimmer's Delight or the next one down the way. We had no cell service most of the drive out and were trying to find Hell's Gate, though none in our group had ever been there. I learned that "a little bit up the road" is a relative statement to the area. Fern Grove was the name of the park itself. There are just about a dozen camp sites in the location. The areas were well kept as maintenance and upkeep go. The bathrooms were within close range to the river access trail along with soap and clean facilities. The camp we had provided a bear cabinet that could be locked, a central fire pit with grill and a larger stone grill area. There were also several places to use a spigot for water, recycling bins and garbage cans. All were kept in order, and the park staff was around several times to change things and check on the...
