Potem Falls — Local services in Shasta Lake

They mention this trail might close down to reconstruct for safety double make sure its open How? look at the most recent reviews or call (not sure where you would call)

This place is not a bad place to visit but getting there its a pain. The road is gravel and few spots are really narrow only one car can go through. Parking is very limited you need to hope its available when you get there. If you plan to bring a trailer don't that'll definitely take all the available parking. The trail it can be dangerous just gotta be extra careful where you step and its not that far of a hike.

Is it worth going there? For a new waterfall to see and get the experience yes! Would I go again? If im driving with my own car definitely not! Someone else is driving or im driving different car definitely yes. Can you fish there? Oh yeah my friend caught few fishes. There is a dam where you can catch even bigger fish. Once you cross a bridge and you look to the right you'll definitely...

This is quite the adventure up in the mountains to get to this waterfall. You get a decent amount of paved road before it turns into gravel/mountain type roads. The gravel roads are well maintained though! We have taken Vanna (our campervan) in much worse! You cross over a bridge and get views of a pretty neat dam. It seemed to pop up out of nowhere! There’s a small turnout off to the side of the road with space for maybe 5 vehicles. Two other vehicles came after we arrived here early in the morning.

The hike to Potem Falls zigzags down the side of the mountain. I was gripping my kids hands for the majority of the hike down the mountain. Some parts of pretty steep & narrow. The end resulted in a beautiful rainbow! There was a light at the end of the tunnel and well worth it! This waterfall had an everlasting waterfall! It would be a fun swimming hole...

Not sure why people give this such a high rating. It’s extremely difficult to hike. We wore water sandals and swim suits and shorts. The water is FREEZING!! Unless you want hypothermia with your swim. There is no where to pop a squat or picnic or anything else but stand on the rocks in freezing cold water and fish. It’s pretty to see but ultimately not at all worth the time and energy it took to get to. Unless you love to fish that is. NOT FOR CHILDREN!!!!!!! No way in Gods green earth would I ever take my child down those rocky dangerous paths. You couldn’t pay me. DO NOT wear sandals you’ll need tennis shoes. NOT EASY to find...
