Getting Outdoors
Although there are all kinds of activities here year-round, an optimal time to rent a camper near Lake Shasta is during the warm season. Lake Shasta is mostly fed by rainfall versus snowmelt, so the water temperatures often warm up to around 78-degrees -- perfect for a leisurely swim or floating in an inner tube. Discover the lake by launching out into the sparkling waters in your personal watercraft. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, jet skis, and even houseboats are popular here. There are multiple marinas all around Lake Shasta providing rentals and various services.
Camping at Lake Shasta
Some of California’s best camping can be found at the Shasta-Trinity Recreation Area.
