Whether you are planning to go camping, fishing, hiking, boating, picnicking, snow­ mobiling, cross country skiing or sight seeing, the choices for recreation are almost unlimited. Recreation plus… During the late spring, summer and early fall, the McCloud River is the most popular attraction in this area, offering fishing, swimming, camping and spectacular scenery. During the winter months, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and downhill skiing are the top ranking outdoor opportunities. Developed campgrounds and facilities… Except for Harris Springs, Cattle Camp, Trout Creek Campgrounds and Lake McCloud Boat Ramp, all developed campgrounds and day use facilities are located along the McCloud River. All campgrounds are on a first come-first served basis and have a 14 day stay limit. River route… The McCloud River parallels Highway 89 from its source near Dead Horse Summit to Fowler’s Campground. There it turns south and continues through private property to Lake McCloud. At Lake McCloud, the river again flows through National Forest lands to a point several miles below Ah-Di-Na Campground, plus several other areas downstream to the McCloud Nature Preserve. From here, the river passes through mostly private property and public access is extremely limited until the river enters Shasta Lake. Dispersed camping… If the improved campgrounds around McCloud are too crowded and confining, you may want to try camping somewhere else.

  • Pit River and Rock Creek 2012 Summary Report
    Pit River and Rock Creek 2012 summary report October 9, 2012 State of California Department of Fish and Wildlife Heritage and Wild Trout Program Prepared by Stephanie Mehalick and Cameron Zuber Introduction Rock Creek, located in northeastern California, is tributary to the Pit River approximately 3.5 miles downstream from Lake Britton (Shasta County; Figure 1). The native fish fauna of the Pit River is similar to the Sacramento River and includes rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss sp.), sculpin (Cottus spp.), hardhead (Mylopharadon conocephalus), Sacramento sucker (Catostomus occidentalis), speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus) and Sacramento pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus grandis; Moyle 2002). In addition, the Pit River supports a wild population of non-native brown trout (Salmo trutta). It is unknown whether the ancestral origins of rainbow trout in the Pit River are redband trout (O. m. stonei) or coastal rainbow trout (O. m. irideus) and for the purposes of this report, we refer to them as rainbow trout. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife Heritage and Wild Trout Program (HWTP) has evaluated the Pit River as a candidate for Wild Trout Water designation since 2008. Wild Trout Waters are those that support self-sustaining wild trout populations, are aesthetically pleasing and environmentally productive, provide adequate catch rates in terms of numbers or size of trout, and are open to public angling (Bloom and Weaver 2008). The HWTP utilizes a phased approach to evaluate designation potential. In 2008, the HWTP conducted Phase 1 initial resource assessments in the Pit River to gather information on species composition, size class structure, habitat types, and catch rates (Weaver and Mehalick 2008).

  • Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta
    Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta Geology 60 Fall 2007 William Hirt College of the Siskiyous 800 College Avenue Weed, California Introduction Mount Shasta is one of the twenty or so large volcanic peaks that dominate the High Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. These isolated peaks and the hundreds of smaller vents that are scattered between them lie about 200 kilometers east of the coast and trend southward from Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia to Lassen Peak in northern California (Figure 1). Mount Shasta stands near the southern end of the Cascades, about 65 kilometers south of the Oregon border. It is a prominent landmark not only because its summit stands at an elevation of 4,317 meters (14,162 feet), but also because its volume of nearly 500 cubic kilometers makes it the largest of the Cascade STRATOVOLCANOES (Christiansen and Miller, 1989). Figure 1: Locations of the major High Cascade volcanoes and their lavas shown in relation to plate boundaries in the Pacific Northwest. Full arrows indicate spreading directions on divergent boundaries, and half arrows indicate directions of relative motion on shear boundaries. The outcrop pattern of High Cascade volcanic rocks is taken from McBirney and White (1982), and plate boundary locations are from Guffanti and Weaver (1988). Mount Shasta's prominence and obvious volcanic character reflect the recency of its activity. Although the present stratocone has been active intermittently during the past quarter of a million years, two of its four major eruptive episodes have occurred since large glaciers retreated from its slopes at the end of the PLEISTOCENE EPOCH, only 10,000 to 12,000 years ago (Christiansen, 1985).

The period of study begins when the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company began to farm land in and around Fort Vancouver in 1825, and ends in 1861—during the time when agrarian settlement was beginning to expand east of the Cascade Mountains.
