Area Information:
Lassen Volcanic National Park is a largely undiscovered gem of the National Park Service. Situated where the Cascade and Sierra Nevada Ranges meet, it contains a wonderful diversity of mixed conifer forests, lakes, streams, alpine fell-fields, and meadows resplendent in summer wildflowers and butterflies. Various types of extinct and dormant volcanoes dominate the landscape, as well as active hydrothermal features like steam vents and mud pots. Recreational opportunities abound, with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, and hiking, camping, backpacking, fly-fishing, and kayaking in the summer.
Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is located 10 miles west of Redding, California on State Highway 299. It is the smallest of the three units of Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, and is managed by the National Park Service, with the Shasta and Trinity Units managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Created as part of the California Central Valley Project, Whiskeytown's beautiful 3,200 acre lake contributes both drinking and irrigation water to northern California, and offers many recreational activities, including swimming from sand-covered beaches, scuba diving, kayaking, water skiing, boating and fishing. Its mountainous landscape offers opportunities for picnicking, hiking, hunting, and horseback riding. Historical remains of the 1850s California Gold Rush era, including the historic Tower House District and the Camden House, are found within the Park's 42,000 acres.
