Among the many sightseeing options in the area, the Bully Hill Mine ruins are one of the area's best. From 1905 to 1925, these mines extracted copper from the mines. The ruins at Bully Hill are currently the only mining ruins that remain above water. If you are a true thrill seeker, scuba diving through the other underwater mining ruins is an unforgettable experience.
Other than the mining ruins, visitors can enjoy local amenities like the Shasta Caverns, the McCloud Arm, the Pit River Arm and the Sacramento Arm. The Shasta Caverns can be reached by houseboat on the north arm of the McCloud River. Meanwhile, the Pit River Arm offers the highest double-decker bridge in the United States and phenomenal views of Mount Shasta. At the Sacramento Arm, visitors can check out the red basalt rocks piled like the Devil's Postpile National Monument. The Sacramento Arm also includes the Indian Creek and a waterfall that is perfect for summertime picnics.
For hikers, Shasta Lake offers two exceptional wildlife trails. The Green Creek Trail runs 5.85 miles each way through limestone formations. It ends at the Bully Hill Mine ruins and offers panoramic views of the area. At the Samwel Cave Nature Trail, visitors can hike one mile from their boat to reach a natural cavern. On many hikes, visitors can enjoy viewing local wildlife like Rocky Mountain elk, osprey, otters, bald eagles and deer.
From golfing at the Aqua Golf Driving Range to fishing for king salmon, Shasta Lake is one of the best places to spend a vacation. For a more luxurious experience, check into one of the many houseboat rentals on the lake. Designed with amenities like water slides and staterooms, these houseboats are one of the best ways to experience the crystalline waters of the Shasta Lake.
American Houseboat Rentals offers the houseboats and destinations that you need. From compact houseboats to floating palaces, you can enjoy amenities like whirlpool spas, wet bars and water slides. Once you embark on your vacation, you can enjoy days spent napping under the gentle rays of the sun and nights spent gazing at the stars.
