Whether you like boating, swimming and sunning at Shasta or Whiskeytown Lakes, or fishing on the Sacramento River and mountain streams or enjoying the grandeur of Mt Lassen National Park, Redding is your base camp. If your interests lie in other directions, there are biking trails, hiking trails, the Shasta Dam visitors center, the old gold mining town of Shasta, miles and miles of quad and dirt bike trails at Chappie-Shasta Recreational Area and a multitude of campgrounds in the surrounding area. Get out and have fun in Shasta County this summer.
