Best Day Hikes in
WHISKEYTOWN
NATIONAL RECREATION AREA
Whiskeytown is more than a reservoir. Really! From Mt. Shasta Mine to Brandy Creek to Whiskeytown Falls, here are my favorite tales—along with the best trails in a parkland far better known for boating than hiking.
Why Go: The lake sparkles, waterfalls tumble, and trails wind through Gold Rush history.
