Whiskeytown Lake, California, United States

Pretty, isolated place to end a HOT day
Tuesday night at the Powerhouse meant we had this pretty place all to ourselves in the 99 degree heat. We walked. We photographed the perfectly-reflected mountains with the last light of our first day on vacation. Our Husky splashed and cooled off. We fished for about 20 minutes. After making the 4.5 journey up from the Bay Area, deposting our bags in the hotel and jumping into the pool, we made the 17 minute drive out to Whiskeytown Lake to end the day with nature and movement. Next time, we'll enjoy the Marina!

Beautiful area
Active duty military, so can't really speak to the value of any kind of park pass. It's free for us, so heck yeah, it's worth it. When the temp hits triple digits, we make our way to the lake only 10 minutes west of Redding. Nice facilities, ample parking, and ability to rent tubes/kayaks/canoes.

Beautiful blue water
Always a beautiful lake to drive out to and take in the scenery. Prior to the Carr Fire the entire hillside was green and lush in the spring to early summer. I would recommend renting a boat and taking a cruise across the lake or better yet finding someone to take you sailing. Beautiful blue waters on Whiskeytown Lake
