Known as the "Houseboating Capital of the World," Lake Shasta is California's largest reservoir and truly offers an escape from the daily grind. Here you can relax on the deck of a boat, fish from the shore, or jump over the wake of a speedboat. Being close to the Pacific Coast and surrounded by the Trinity National Forest, Shasta Lake is a vacationers' paradise. Plan ahead with a houseboat rental and you'll be able to spend a lot more time entirely on the lake. Day temperatures reach near 100 degrees during the summer, whereas the water stays a perfect 78.
Lake Shasta is the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy some spectacular flora, fauna and recreational opportunities. Whether you're interested in houseboating, or anything from fishing to hiking or just sunbathing, you will not be disappointed.
Providing a panoramic view of majestic Mt Shasta, Lake Siskiyou is the recreational jewel of Northern California. Whether it be quiet fishing moments on the dock with your children, quality family time, outdoor recreation time, playtime, or kick back and relax on one of our cabin's decks, Siskiyou Resort and Camp is an endless amount of fun. A place for reflection.
If you've never taken a houseboat vacation before, you don't know what you're missing. Houseboating is a fun and easy way to explore the unique waters of North America. We pride ourselves on our commitment to working with our customers to help make their trip the best it can be.
