Description

Added by Brodie Fisher

This location provides a perfect waterfall/swimming hole to slack line over, plenty of cliffs to jump off of, and a natural rock slide that leads to you splashing into a pool of water! Great spot for families, friends and an over all good time.

After pulling off Highway 299, you will hike for about a quarter mile to the waterfall/swimming hole. You will be walking on a cliff and must walk down a dirt trail to reach the bottom. The waterfall provides enough water to set up a slackline clean across the middle, while still being far enough away from anyone jumping off the cliffs. There's a good variety of cliffs you can jump off of. Ranging from about 10 feet to 35 feet. The natural rock slides are about another quarter mile hike along the trail. (I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures of the slides). The slides are extremely fun but there is a huge gap to the right of the slide, so you will definitely have to avoid hitting that gap. (It's very easy to avoid). This spot is a perfect place to bring family and friends, as it provides plenty of water, sun, and plenty of fun!

Magee Peak & Crater Peak

The trail to Magee Peak and Crater Peak makes for a fairly strenuous hike (mostly due to altitude). This USFS out-and-back trail has incredible views of the major peaks in the Northern California & Southern Oregon. Take in a spectacular close-up of Lassen NP and great views of Shasta, Castle Craigs, the Trinity Alps, Yolla Ballys, and Mt. McLaughlin. The USFS hike is technically to Magee ...

Houseboat Lake Shasta

Lake Shasta sits at the foot of infamous Mt Shasta, past the major Northern California city of Redding. From the Bay Area you can count on at least a 3.5 hour drive to get to waters edge, but the drive goes by quickly just cruising on HWY 5. There are multiple Marinas on Shasta but the largest is at Bridge Bay, ironically located right where HWY 5 crosses over Lake Shasta. There are multiple di...

The Hike Burney Falls has a 1.3 mile loop trail that takes approximately 30 minutes to hike (but potentially longer depending on how long you stop to take photos). Starting from the pa...

Northshore Campground

The name of the campground, Northshore Campground, speaks for itself. It's located on the northern side of Lake Britton, across the water from the main state park camping area. This is nice for us as it's easier to get a spot, and it's much quieter. Campground Reservations It's a PG&E campground, so we were able to take the dogs with us and let them hang out and swim with us. It's an easy...
