Pleasure Boating on the Lakes
It’s all happening on Shasta Lake. Holiday Harbor and Jones Valley Resort are two options for renting boats to get out on Shasta Lake. Oak Bottom Marina has a fleet of boats ready to rent. Strap on some water skis and feel the wind through your hair as you zip along the lakes. Silverthorn Resort also rents out party boats and wakeboard boats and other small craft. Explore McCloud River which flows into the lake, or head further north to Lake Siskiyou to discover new landscapes.
River Boating Experiences
Launch ramps around the city allow boaters easy access to the Sacramento River. Pop into the current at Lake Redding Boat Ramp or the Riverside Boat Ramp. Follow the 54-mile Red Bluff Boating Trail to enjoy a soothing jaunt through nature from the solitude of the river. Or change gears with some faster speeds by linking up with Redding Jet Boat Tours for an unforgettable motorized experience on the river. Calm down with some trout fishing while paddling through the water to Balls Ferry, or connect with Clear Creek for more opportunities to explore.
Watersport Adventure in Redding
With jetskiing, tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding and wake surfing, Redding offers visitors the chance to chase down thrills on its waterways. Action Sport Rentals rents out jet skis for some speed while Inland Boat Sports has everything you’ll need to wakeboard and wakesurf. If you haven’t experienced a Sky Ski, you must make its way onto your itinerary whether it is flips and tricks or a mellow tow then try out the hydrofoil and other toys. Design your own personalized motorized boating adventures in Redding and start creating memories.
Get Towed Across the Water
It doesn’t take much experience to enjoy one of the most popular sports on the lake. Hitch an inflatable tube to your watercraft and get ready to make waves as you bounce across Redding’s lakes and rivers. Renting a small craft on Shasta Lake, however, is probably the most popular way to enjoy some speed and thrills without any fuss. Check out companies like Silverthorn Resort or Holiday Harbor to enquire about renting the right boat for your towing needs.
Sleeping on the Water
For visitors who just never want to leave the water, many companies rent houseboats to enjoy the lakes day and night. Silverthorn Resort and Jones Valley Resort rent out different models and sizes of houseboats on beautiful Lake Shasta, providing a unique way to experience this Redding icon. Look for more options at Bridge Bay Resort and find the accommodation that fits your family’s needs and ensure that your stay at Shasta Lake will be anything but forgettable.
