The area enveloping McCloud Falls is a mosaic of Northern California’s most striking landscapes, prominently featuring Mount Shasta within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. This region offers a wealth of outdoor activities against a backdrop of awe-inspiring natural beauty. Trails wind through ancient forests to the banks of the renowned McCloud River, a hotspot for trout fishing enthusiasts. Nearby, Shasta Lake offers water sports and recreation amid its vast blue waters, serving as a perfect complement to the area’s terrestrial adventures. The town of McCloud, rich in history and nestled at the foot of natural splendors, provides a charming base with its accommodations and local eateries.
