Whiskeytown Lake
Discover Whiskeytown Lake's serene waters and rich history.
A short drive from Shasta Lake, Whiskeytown Lake is the perfect place to go to avoid the much busier shores and waters. Just off the shores of the lake you can visit waterfalls, hike through rugged mountains, and explore the history of this once booming gold rush era region. With many children's programs offered at the National Recreation Area on the south side of the lake, Whiskeytown Lake is definitely a spot to check out on your travels through Central California.

When to go
The ideal time to visit Whiskeytown Lake is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers warm temperatures perfect for water activities, though it can be crowded. Winters are less ideal due to cooler weather and potential park service limitations.
