Nestled in a scenic valley northeast of the small town of Weed lies the delightful paddlers' paradise of Lake Shastina. This serene body of water offers magnificent views, with low foothills covered in lush vegetation lining the shoreline and sweeping vistas of majestic Mt. Shasta visible from the lake.

The lake is open to a variety of boating activities, drawing windsurfing and sailing enthusiasts thanks to the strong wind conditions. A primitive campground with shady sites is located nearby, providing easy access for visitors looking to enjoy the wealth of recreational opportunities the lake has to offer.

In the summer, Lake Shastina hosts a range of activities, including hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and excellent trout fishing, with the lake stocked yearly with thousands of rainbow trout. While fishing is permitted year-round, the area can get quite cold and windy from November through March due to the lake's proximity to Mt. Shasta.

For those seeking a peaceful, scenic paddle, an early morning trip on Lake Shastina is the perfect way to experience this paddlers' paradise. However, the lake can become quite windy as the day progresses.
