This recreation area is located in the hills west of Redding, California. I'd never heard of it…read moreuntil we took a different route back from the Humboldt region, back down to SoCal. It was scenic, there's lots of different lakes that dot the area. It's really pretty. People come here for boating, swimming, and hiking up to the waterfalls. Theres also water sports and camping in the summer months.

I've been coming here on almost a daily basis for over 10 years now. I love the area, the areas…read morethat didn't get severely burned in 2018 are still really nice. And the recovery is looking good in those burnt areas. Why only 3 stars? Because of the restroom maintenance issues at Brandy Creek. I have told them about one of the stalls where the door will not securely latch, both in person and on their Facebook page. I guess they don't mind visitors being accidentally seen while doing their business. It is a simple fix, only thing needed is a file to open the striker a bit so the bolt will catch properly. Word to the wise-don't use that left side stall unless you want to play "Face The Nation". lol

A beautiful lake and surrounding area. Very clean and green. Boat docks and fishing I suppose are…read morehighlights. I visited while driving through on a very warm day. I suppose perfect swim weather. Other water sports I'm sure bring in many from afar. Nature lovers and people who like to travel in RVs or travel trailers I think would love this place. Probably few better places for camping. Due to the shape of the lake there is lots of shore and very few people using it. I think its an underrated lake but I still prefer Lake Tahoe - and at about the same distance for me from home I probably would never come to this lake as a destination. There is something about the trees or the air in Lake Tahoe that lures me in more like a fly to a bug zapper... and I'm not alone - its popularity is shown by the packed beaches. I can compare this place only to Lake Tahoe and another thing that I love about LT is how it (or at least South Lake Tahoe) is the perfect marriage of nature and city. There are bars and steak houses and music venues and other thing you could imagine that a decent city has. Mount Shasta seems to just be nature. If your driving long distances I think its worth a stop. Take an hour. Stretch your legs - get in your 10,000 steps even when you are on the road.

Went on a five day trip this past weekend on a Mirage houseboat. Had a packed house of 14 people…read more What we loved about the boat was that we all had private quarters. It was 111 degrees when we arrived, the heat slowly dissipated as the days wore on, but the AC kept us cool, even in the two loft bedrooms. The only mechanical issue we encountered was the lake water pressure, but the techs easily fixed it. The marina store had snack items (mainly ice cream treats for us) at fair prices. Our boat was fully equipped with an array of cookware and entertaining pieces, Pottery Barn dishes and quality kitchen gadgets-- even a Pampered Chef garlic press. Our hot tub was clean and fully functional. The staff was professional- Every one of them that we interacted with. I highly recommend this company!

Upon returning to the marina they fill the gas tank and make you pay a prepaid $250 and return what wasn't used. They charge $7 a gallon and without telling you on the website, in your agreement or to your face at check in. We sat with three different individuals and not one of them told us at the end there would be an additional $250. The jetski ran great but EXTREMELY over priced and disappointed by the lack of communication or warning.

Wonderful views of the mountains while you travel around a healthy looking pond and creek surrounded by native greenery.
