Plan Your Activities in Advance
Shasta Lake is over 350 miles long. Even with an extended houseboat rental, you won’t be able to see it all in one trip. Decide which activities and locations your family wants to experience the most and plan your trip around them. Some of Shasta Lake’s most famous sites include the Bully Hill Mine Ruins, Shasta Caverns and the Pit River Arm. If hiking and sightseeing don’t attract your family, there are also stunning fishing locations where you can catch king salmon and other fish.
Abandon Ship
Don’t worry, when we say abandon ship, we mean it in a good way. Plan some time for relaxing water games and swimming. Avoid overscheduling your trip so much that you forget some of the simpler things like spontaneous lake dips and cannonballs. At Shasta Lake, you can also go on shore and experience some fun vacation treats, such as golfing. If you want to see all that this interactive area has to offer, you’ll have to leave the boat sometime. Don’t worry though, our boats are easy to dock and maneuver, so going offshore is a breeze.
Learn about Shasta Lake History
Many sites you can visit on the lake have unique stories. For example, did you know the highest double-decker bridge is located on the Pit River Arm? This site is stunning, but what is even more stunning is how it was made.
Shasta Lake is full of historical sites and areas that would excite even the most experienced historian. Learn about them before your trip to add a little extra excitement.
Enjoy the Scenery
When the lake is calm, the water is like a mirror, reflecting the trees and the skyline. Be sure to do a little star gazing and see how the night sky shines on the water.
Houseboat rentals are sometimes described as camping without the dirt. With a rental you and your family can enjoy the stunning natural surroundings in comfort and ease.
