This is a miscellaneous collection of popular tourist attractions and places we think you should try to visit and experience in the Shasta Cascade. From an underground cavern loaded with stalactites and stalagmites to a recreational lake on Mt. Lassen, here you'll find unique California points of interest.
Shasta Caverns are located on the north side of Lake Shasta off Interstate 5. These caverns are only accessible by ferry from Holiday Harbor. This is a fair sized California cavern with displays of stactites and stagmites. This is a great place to cool off on a warm summer day and Lake Shasta is one of the most beautiful California lakes.
NOTE: See our Caves page for more California caves and caverns.
Lake Britton is located off Highway 89 in the Shasta National Forest. This small lake is nestled in the pine trees and is part of the MacArthur Burney Falls State Park. Visitors enjoy fishing, boating, swimming and hiking. Canoe, paddle boat and ski boat rentals are available. Lake Britton features a long sandy swimming beach and a hiking trail that leads to Burney Falls.
TIP: This is one of our favorite lakes for size, beauty, activities and crowds. Don't miss out on Burney Falls... another one of our favorites.
