Lake Shasta Houseboat Rental
Not only is Lake Shasta known for it's incredible views of
Mount Shasta, but it's also known as the "houseboat capital of
the world", with over 400 rental houseboats available from the
lake's many marinas. A Lake Shasta houseboat vacation not only
affords you great views, fishing, water sports and relaxation,
but, with over 365 miles of shoreline, plenty of places to
explore, many of which are only accessible by houseboats and
other watercraft.
Located in Northern California, 200 miles from Sacramento
and 10 miles north of Redding, Lake Shasta is a man-made lake
which backs up three rivers, the Sacramento, the McCloud, and
the Pit, making it California's second largest lake after Lake
Tahoe. Noted for sunshine and warm weather for more than half
of the year, Lake Shasta is well-suited for a houseboat
vacation.
While there are over 10 marinas to rent houseboats, we'll
focus on three.
