***IMPORTANT NOTE*** This is a Rest Area, not a "guest house" as the category above suggests. ALSO, the address above is incorrect. It's located ON Interstate-5 with direct Hwy access, it's not on Lakeshore Drive.

Time for another stop to stretch my legs and let the pupster out to do his thing.
LOCATION: On the southbound side of Interstate 5, almost exactly half-way between the cities of Mt Shasta (33.5 miles south of) and Redding (27 miles north of ).

I think the grounds are really beautiful as rest areas go: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lakehead-rest-area-lakehead?select=0Vh403ESewYeHQ2EQh_u2w#FeFKuY8PCZnso9FnAdb6HA
LOTS & LOTS of trees!

Open as well as covered picnic tables.

This is a pretty large rest area, as rest areas go. It also has a very large "pet area" with lots & lots & LOTS of trees for your doggy to go wee-wee on! My pupster was very happy sniffing everything and watering as many of the trees as he could! He kept trying even after he was "empty". ;-) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lakehead-rest-area-lakehead?select=0Vh403ESewYeHQ2EQh_u2w#qYs5ycye9ddyGsb-dxq4OQ
This rest area is a very nice place for the weary traveler to stop, stretch and answer Mother Nature's call. read more
