    McCloud Area Recreation Guide McCloud Station • Shasta-McCloud Management Unit • Shasta-Trinity National Forest SHASTA ajmwcV814 TRINITY This Recreation Opportunity Guide provides a brief overview of recreation facilities and opportunities available in the McCloud area of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. 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.

    Fire Lookouts Eldorado National Forest

    United States Department of Agriculture Fire Lookouts Eldorado National Forest Background Fire suppression became a national priority around 1910, when the country was stricken by what has been considered the largest wildfire in US history. The Big Blowup fire as it was called, burned over 3,000,000 acres (12,000 km) in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. After the Big Blowup, Fire Lookout towers were built across the country in hopes of preventing another “Blowup”. At this time Plummer Lookout. Can lookouts were primarily found in tall trees with rickety ladders and you see the 2 people? platforms or on high peaks with canvas tents for shelters. This job was not for the faint of heart. This did little to offer long‐term support for the much needed “Fire Watcher”, so by 1911 permanent cabins and cupolas were constructed on Mountain Ridges, Peaks, and tops. In California, between 1933 and 1942, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews reportedly built 250 fire lookout towers. These crews also helped build access roads for the construction of these towers. Fire lookouts were at peak use from the 1930s through the 1950s. During World War II fire lookouts were assigned additional duties as Enemy Aircraft Spotters protecting the countries coastal lines and beaches. By the 1960s the Fire Lookouts were being used less frequently due to the rise in technology. Many lookouts were closed, or turned in to recreational facilities. Big Hill On the Eldorado ... Maintained and staffed 7 days a week The Eldorado Naonal Forest originally had 9 lookouts at the during fire season the Big Hill Lookout is beginning of the century.

This Project would increase the existing height of Shasta Dam by 18.5 feet and purportedly expand the capacity of Shasta Lake by up to 634,000- acre feet. In response to this solicitation, the Winnemem Wintu Tribe (WWT) issues the following comments, assertions, and raises questions about the project’s legality. From reading the IS/NOP WWD does not define who is actually the proponent of the project. A lay person reading the IS/NOP would get the impression that it is WWD who will carry out this project, yet WWD makes no distinction. No proponent is identified. This omission renders the project description as deficient. The Project proponent must also be identified in order that transparency is maintained by WWD. Who is funding this EIR effort? If the EIR finds that the Project must be amended to avoid, lessen or mitigate environmental effects, who will amend the Project? Also, from reading the IS/NOP it appears that WWD has made no initial findings of its own, but relies heavily if not entirely on Reclamation’s SWLRI Final EIS released in 2014, and Reclamation’s SWLRI Final Feasibility Report released in 2015.
