The towering pine trees that line the shore
of Lake Siskiyou create a majestic and
picturesque scene, making it one of the most
spectacular shorelines in Northern
California. Nestled in the Shasta-Trinity
National Forest at the foot of snow-capped
Mt. Shasta, the lake offers a large
campground with sites situated amongst the
tall pines on the western shore, making it a
popular summer vacation destination.
Visitors should book camping reservations
well in advance, as the lake is in high
demand. While the tranquil setting is a
draw, the lake is also subject to gusty wind
conditions that attract windsurfers and
sailboats. There are two boat launch access
points - a small hand launch just off W.A.
Barr Road before the dam bridge and a larger
launch in the middle of the western shore
near the campground.
Lake Siskiyou is renowned among local
anglers for its excellent trout fishing,
with a variety of species including spotted
bass, rainbow, brown, and brook trout. The
spring months typically see the best action
for catching trophy-sized trout.
Overall, this is an idyllic destination for
outdoo r
enthusiasts seeking activities like camping,
fishing, boating, hiking, and mountain
biking amidst the stunning natural beauty of
Northern California.
