I love this place. I have to go down to my town where I was born in paradise. California and I also had to go visit the honey run road bridge it's a very beautiful place

I never got to see the original bridge prior to its destruction from the Camp Fire in 2018. I have been wanting to see the newly finished replacement since it opened this year. I was impressed with the new one. They did a wonderful job.
Glen M — Google review
The bridge was redone beautifully. The bathrooms were clean and open. There isn't much parking and access is a bit rough for disabled folks. We also found there to be ticks near the water. Views were great though.
Dionna F — Google review
We are lucky to have residents in the Centerville area that were committed to restoring the bridge. It really turned out great. It's a landmark that needed to be rebuilt.
Mark C — Google review
I am a Filipino and married an American man here at the honey run bridge. This is my experience when my boyfriends asked me if I wanted to get married on the bridge my answer was YES but I didn't know where, when we arrived at the honey run bridge I said why are we here the bridge is rotten but I didn't know this bridge was so memorable. I am happy to be part of the memories here. Here is my married photo with my spouse's best friend, the pastor, and my friend. Come join us!!

I haven't been here since the Camp fire in 2018 they did a really great job rebuilding it

Water current is too strong for little kids to swim but it’s great to touch clear water and walk inside the covered bridge.

Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge

Nature & Wildlife Areas
It took me about 2 hours to do the 6 mile drive through because I love to stop and soak in , view all the flora and fauna. There was a big jack rabbit hopping around, hawks, ducks and geese. If you want to do the 2 mile walking trails bring mosquito repellent and or mosquito face nets as the trail is next to water. A beautiful place to enjoy, I bought an annual pass so I can see different seasonal views.
Kristy K — Google review
This place is great! Not too far from the city of Sacramento by car. A great place for bird watching and photography. Some small hiking paths and a visitor's center. It's $6 for the auto tour only but you can get an annual pass for $12. A worthwhile service of the federal government and a place worth protecting.
Ann S — Google review
A fabulous bird refuge. It was high wind today so most of the birds were grounded, but we saw a large number of a big variety of ducks, geese and other waterfowl. I plan to come back in the fall migration season. The car loop is fabulous with great views and places to stop and stretch. Beautiful! Next time I'll comb the observation tower.
Sharlene N — Google review
We took a day trip to the Colusa area to see the migrating waterfowl and birds of all kinds. Birds as far as your eyes can see in some places. There’s 5 preserves in the area. Most you can hike and/or drive through. Nice areas to view the wildlife. Beautiful!
Sharyn L — Google review
Great place to do some birding. We took the auto tour and saw pelicans, grebes, stilts, Geese, shoveles, pheasants, jack rabbits, deer, kestrals, harriers, cormarants, warblers, and much more!
Jason H — Google review
Beautiful area to visit in the winter. Home to a wide variety of migratory birds and other wildlife. We were lucky to see river otters and a badger. We also got to see a bald eagle which was pretty amazing. The auto tour is the highlight. The visitor center was closed and being repaired. The trail close to the visitor center was a nice walk but we did not see many birds or other wildlife on the walk.
Shankar R — Google review
Fabulous 6 mile auto tour right off highway 5. I understand there’s even more birds if you go in the fall, I went for the wildflowers and was not disappointed.
Laurie M — Google review
We love coming here and doing the car loop. Great place to view multiple different species of birds. Plenty of clean bathrooms and places to stretch your legs. New visitor center. Bought the annual pass.

Nishi V — Google review
We had a blast doing the Still the One tour. The group was relatively smaller and led by a knowledgeable tour guide. We received a few beers on the tour, got an inside look at the rest of the brewery, and learned a lot! Our favorite part was drinking straight out of the tap with fresh beer only brewed about 3 days ago. We’ve done the local tour here but this is definitely worth the $25 walking away with a crowler, goodie bag, and a ride on the Time Machine!
Emily E — Google review
I had a delicious lunch at their restaurant then took the brewery tour. We had Emily guide us through the brewery which started with a beer sample and she was very knowledgeable. The 45 min tour ends with beer also. I highly recommend this tour and lunch. 5 stars

Movie theater
The Pageant Theatre in Chico is a beloved independent movie theater that offers an intimate setting for screening art-house, independent, and foreign films. Built in 1920, this historic theater provides a nostalgic movie-going experience with its vintage marquee and cozy atmosphere. The single-screen venue features digital projection and offers couch seating at the front. Additionally, it provides auditorium rentals for various events. Visitors can enjoy vegan snacks and beer while watching thought-provoking films at affordable prices.
The pageant theatre is still a great place to go for a quaint movie or event. We were there recently for a screening of an autobiography of Charlie Robinson. Hadn’t been there in many years and it’s essentially unchanged. Love the uniqueness and character or the theatre.
Charene R — Google review
Perfect little theater for films you won't see at the big chains--small releases, classics, art films. Affordable tickets and concessions (bring cash!) and the nicest man who does everything. Get on their email list and get to the Pageant!

Forget Cinemark, watch a movie at the Pageant! I've never felt more emotion in any theatee other than this one. Keep an eye out for what's playing, and experience the laughter, joy, and sorrow, in Chico's best, and only, locally owned theatre!

I love this place, all the movies I want to see that big theaters don't show I happen to see here. Glad they dont just show general movies but foreign ones and eccentric ones, I love their taste in movies :) the popcorn is great too, and their ginger soda. I was extremely happy to be able to see El Problemista, Beau is Afraid, and other old school horror films, thank you for existing!

Mike P — Google review
Quaint theater with limited seating; I’ve seen some excellent and or unusual films here. Website is a little jenky; phone message as well BUT! Great popcorn. No senior or ticket deals. All tickets $8.50 at time of this review.
Fecanis — Google review
This place was amazing. We had no idea it was all vegan, so naturally we had to buy as many snacks as we could hold. The popcorn was great with the nutritional yeast sprinkled on top (we had to get a second bag) and we got there early and were able to snag the super comfy couches up front! We paid 6.50 for matinee tickets to an incredible film and the snacks were also incredibly affordable. Go see a good movie on a budget. Thanks Pageant Theatre!

Lovely place for recreation. Theres lots of birds here so its good for birdwatching or casual walking, not as good for mountain biking

Such a beautiful park with tons of shaded areas and space for the family. During the summer they have lifeguards. There is a snack bar, restrooms for you to rinse off, a nice creek next to the pool and a toddler area (water is very low for kiddos to enjoy 🥰). Plenty of picnic tables and you have a park next to it plus plenty of hiking and paved trails

It's a beautiful day today and as the sun is beginning it's slow descent the bright and warm colors of summer, the sound of the creek rushing by me...it just feels like home. I would not want to live anywhere else on Earth but Chico, right her and right now...

B. K — Google review
Chico Certified Farmers Market is a vibrant community hub for fresh, local produce. Spanning a wide variety of seasonal goods, it consistently delivers on quality and variety. From plump, organic fruits to artisanal cheeses, the selection is impressive. Friendly vendors, often the growers themselves, offer a personal touch, sharing insights and recipe ideas. It's a delightful place to engage with the agricultural heartbeat of Chico. The market's atmosphere is lively, with live music and a buzzing crowd, making it an ideal weekend outing. Prices can lean towards premium, but the quality justifies it. Whether you're a foodie or simply seeking wholesome groceries, this market is a must-visit.
Sheldon P — Google review
Love the Saturday morning market. Fresh fruits and veggies from local frams. Local artisans and musicians. Also lots of various food ready to eat. Baked goods from Sweet Cottage are the best. Sweet Cottage line is always long. If you get Robin’s number you can order whole pies and quiches ahead of time. The pie pan has a five dollar deposit.
Michelle W — Google review
This Farmers Market is a pretty good size. Lots of Fresh fruits, vegetables, and even some gorgeous floral booths. I stumbled across a lady that did frozen prepared Sicilian food as well....if I didn't have an hours drive I would have bought some. It's worth the trip out.

Love this small yet everything you need farmers market. Where else can you taste Sierra Nevada, get some delicious sea food then stumble over to some Indian food. Tons of plants and other household goods not just food. I highly suggest the olives from Adams ranch specifically the habanero stuffed one's make a tasty martini.
Danny H — Google review
Very adorable, interesting, and robust farmers market. Much larger and better layout that the one in Fresno that I’m used to. All the basics (and plenty to choose from) covered-cheese, honey, produce, fresh and cured meats, multiple coffee and tea vendors and much more! They had a few people performing acoustic music as well. Very charming! A must visit on a Chico weekend. Great location in Downtown too, lots to see and do nearby.

State park
Sights & Landmarks
Bidwell Mansion | State Historic Park is a stunning estate located in an Italianate Victorian mansion that was previously owned by John and Annie Bidwell. The park encompasses both the beautiful mansion and its surrounding grounds which are perfect for wandering around. Although the house museum itself is closed most days, visitors can check the schedule before visiting to ensure it's open. This fun-filled park is adjacent to a school and touring the mansion with a guide provides immense interest due to its historical background.
Lots of great California history inside! Mr. Bidwell played a big part in building California and the city of Chico. The mansion is full of lots of fun artifacts, and is very well kept I highly suggest taking a tour.

It was a great tour. The tour guides were nice and answered all the questions anyone had. But you want to know why it's temporarily closed. Because some stupid peace of garbage burnt it to the ground. My grandma lives in Chico. I'm visiting her right now. When I drove past it, everything except the bricks was gone. ALL OF IT!!!!

Much better than I expected. Also, make sure you make reservations in advance! They were booked up when we went, but Murphy was kind enough to squeeze us in anyway. Murphy was fantastic!

Thunderhill Raceway Park

Car racing venue
Sights & Landmarks
Auto Race Tracks
3-mile, 15-turn road course for autos & motorcycles, offering open test days & driving courses.
An amazing course with good people making for a good vibe. Tricky and off camber in places and fast and flat out in others. There is also an ‘off the map’ supercharger that is likely not publicly accessible but is there for EV track users.
Kris K — Google review
Excellent low key track with helpful, caring staff. This is a great venue for more reasonably priced track days for clubs. Great place for beginners and amateur racers due to minimal concrete barriers. If you push too hard and get off track, you go farming, maybe getting some dirt in your splitter. Plenty of covered corral areas to keep you out of the sun when not on track The only reason for the 4 stars is that it is a low-key, lower priced track, and therefore does not have a lot of updated amenities. It's location is about 40 miles too far away from the Bay Area making it less convenient.
Hanns U — Google review
I was invited by Darrell Anderson AV8 Super Cars @av8.supercars of Sears Point Raceway, to attend my first high-performance "Drift" event. Thunderhill has a lot to offer. I had the time of my life. The drift cars are incredible. The speed that they course through the track is incredible. I love the noise and the smoking tires. The AV8 Team lead by "Double Barrel Darrell" is off the hook. They did 5 sessions per day, and every time, they had to put on a new set of rear tires. These guys ruled the track. Another highlight of my experience was the hot laps around the track in the brand new ZO6 C8 Corvette. Professional driver Nick Beisert @grip_addict set the track on fire. Yeah, he had the pedal to the metal, the rpm's, 8,600 revolutions per minute, maxed out, buried, with the tires smoking in every turn. He started at the back of the pack and safely passed every single car at an extremely high rate of speed. He did not want to hurt me, so he kept asking, "Nitros, are you alright? Are you okay?" Every time the answer was "yes". Then he'd take it to the next level until no levels were left. We were ripping around the track like a jet fighter. When we were totally maxed out, I was extremely quiet. He asked me what I was doing. I told him "yoga" :-). I think I made a new friend. Love the experience. Nick is a good guy with a great family that supports him. Try it, you'll like it. I loved it.

Awesome Track with Great Variety! Thunderhill Raceway is a fantastic track with a mix of high-speed straights, technical corners, and elevation changes.

An unexpectedly amazing time in an out-of-the-way winery. We went with low expectations, but the bar has now been set so high - beyond reach. Thank you, Matt (et al), for the history and wine education. Most especially to the brothers for all you do. The winery is wonderful, but the church is also spectacular. Don't miss any of it! Take your time and drink it all in.
Dyanne R — Google review
This beautiful and scenic winery is a must stop when visiting the Chico, CA area. They have delicious wines offered for tasting and purchase in the winery tasting room. Thank you, Ben! Many of the grapes used are grown on site. The abbey and vineyards hold a prominent place in US history, all of which you can learn about during an entertaining tour with the engaging Brother Luis Cortez. After the tour, strolling the well kept grounds and visiting the monastic buildings and gift shop was a peaceful break from busy urban centers.

Our Friday excursion led us to the picturesque setting of New Clairvaux Vineyard, where we embarked on a delightful journey of wine tasting. This vineyard is nestled amidst serene surroundings and offers an enchanting escape for wine enthusiasts seeking excellence. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the hospitable staff, whose passion for wine was evident in their informative and welcoming demeanor. Their knowledge added depth to our tasting experience, enhancing our appreciation for our sampled wines. New Clairvaux Vineyard boasts a diverse selection of reds and whites, catering to various palates. As someone who typically leans towards red wines, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of their white wines. I was so impressed that I ended up purchasing two bottles to enjoy later. Beyond the exquisite wines, the New Clairvaux Vineyard has a rich history that adds a layer of intrigue to the tasting experience. Founded on the grounds of a historic monastery, the vineyard's roots trace back to the 12th century, when the monks first began cultivating grapes in this sacred setting. Today, that legacy lives on as the vineyard continues producing unparalleled wines steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Our visit to New Clairvaux Vineyard left a lasting impression, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow wine enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a novice explorer, this vineyard offers an unforgettable experience that celebrates the timeless artistry of winemaking. We eagerly anticipate our next visit, eager to indulge in the treasures that await at New Clairvaux Vineyard.

We stopped in on a whim while heading home from vacation, and I’m so glad we did! This place is truly a gem. The rich history adds a fascinating backdrop to the experience, and the knowledgeable staff made our visit even more enjoyable. They were eager to share insights about the wines and the region, which really enhanced our tasting. Speaking of the wine, it was absolutely delicious! Each sip was a delight, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for such quality. Overall, this was a unique experience that I highly recommend. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to visit!

Ordered a Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich. Delicious. We ate up at the bar. Gal was very nice & friendly. Checked into our room for a quick night after a long day of traveling. The blond gal who checked us in was really nice and we remembered her from last year. Room was clean and spacious. Reasonable price.

Having already sung the praises of Rolling Hills’ incredible restaurants and lively bars, it’s only fair to spotlight the crown jewel of the experience: the rooms and service. Simply put, they exceed expectation at every turn. From the moment you check in, you’re met with service that feels less like hospitality and more like genuine care. Every detail in the room speaks of pride and precision with spotless cleanliness, crisp linens, and a layout that offers both comfort and calm after a day of casino excitement. It’s rare to find a resort where convenience is woven so seamlessly into the experience. A short stroll connects you effortlessly to the casino floor, entertainment, and amenities, yet the rooms themselves remain a quiet retreat, insulated from the buzz. If you want a stay that lets you indulge, recharge, and feel truly looked after, Rolling Hills delivers it in spades.

Room and bathroom beautiful and so clean, the sheets and pillows white and smells clean, love it. Shampoo, conditioner ,body wash and really nice white clean towels ❤️ plus a coffee maker. The only problem was the noise from the top rooms, so next time we will ask for a room in the top floors 🤭. Thank you Rolling hills Casino and resort .

I am happy with the Fat burger inside. They have Trucker and RV parking 👍. They have a gas station. Always clean and stocked. The casino has fun games and I have always won when going. Bathrooms are always clean. Definitely a smaller casino from what I am used to but, it’s kinda a small town. I have not been to Rockin Brews yet but, I have eaten at the cafe and I was happy. You never know if you could be the next jackpot winner. If I win a jackpot, I will likely go to Rockin Brews Restaurant.

Rolling Hills Casino is hands down one of the best casino experiences I’ve had! From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and everything is kept clean and comfortable, which really makes the whole visit enjoyable. The gaming floor has a great mix of slot machines and table games, so whether you’re a casual player or someone who likes to dive into the action, there’s something for everyone. I also appreciated how attentive the dealers and attendants were — they’re friendly, helpful, and really make sure you’re having a great time. The food options are excellent, too! Delicious meals, generous portions, and quick service. It’s super convenient to grab something tasty without having to leave the fun. Overall, I left with a big smile and can’t wait to go back. Rolling Hills Casino goes above and beyond with customer service, entertainment, and a fun, relaxing environment. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great night out or a weekend getaway!

Nice casino. Lots of games on an spacious floor, grab-&-go or sit-&-dine food choices as well as hotel room service accommodations available upon request, two separate hotel wings with pool access to hotel guests, huge parking lot, casino is located next door to a truck stop, RV Resort, gas station/convenience store (slots can even be found inside the mini market), hotel golf club with a huge grassy field, and even a rodeo ground for annual events, etc. Friendly staff, clean and well maintained casino, several large restroom facilities regularly attended to... everything you'd expect from a casino. I believe they recently upgraded their players card system to accommodate credit/debit cards directly on the machines, which is bitter sweet. Above all, positive experiences during my past visits. I look forward to going back again!

The Links at Rolling Hills

Golf course
Outdoor Activities
This course in the Yuba City / Chico area is highly regarded, offering a challenging and lengthy layout. Despite some yellowed fairways and seemingly dead grass, hitting off them feels no different than a typical fairway. Affordable at $50 for 18 holes with a cart included, it also offers a discounted play it back rate of $25. During the summer, this course could rival resort courses in terms of quality. The pace of play may be slower at around 4.
I highly recommend The Links at Rolling Hills!!! Friendly and knowledgeable staff Brad The Club Professional is extremely knowledgeable! Both myself and my 15 year old son signed up for 4 lessons each with him and I was able to dramatically drop my handicap. The course is great to play I bring my little guys with us to golf as well and never any issues.
Zack T — Google review
There is a golf course in Corning, California that stands not as a pastoral retreat but as a shimmering hallucination in the dried-out gut of the Sacramento Valley. It is called The Links at Rolling Hills, and it was designed, against all odds and sane advice, by the eternal outlaw of American golf: John Daly. Yes, that John Daly. The man of mullets, Marlboros, and mid-round Diet Cokes. A living contradiction—half-savant, half-shambling Greek tragedy—who somehow poured his chaotic gospel into 18 holes of scorched earth and impossible ambition. This course is not merely shaped by Daly's vision. It is haunted by it. From the first tee, you feel it. The fairway dares you. The bunkers leer like open mouths. The wind is not a natural occurrence here—it is a spiritual trial, summoned by the wrath of some ancient force displeased with the irrigation system. Daly did not design this place for balance or serenity. He designed it the way a man builds a fortress during a nervous breakdown: big, bold, fearless, and full of doom. The layout has the markings of a man who once drove a ball 400 yards through a headwind and then lost to his own appetite. There are elevated tees that make you believe you can fly, followed by greens that punish every delusion. On the back nine, the land folds in on itself. The fairways twist like the corridors of a dream. The par-3s are short but violent. The par-5s are invitations to hubris. And yet—there is genius here. A raw, unfiltered genius. Daly has built not a course, but a psychological crucible. His design lures you in with promises of birdies, then strips away your swing, your focus, your very sense of identity. Somewhere around hole twelve, I found myself weeping into a clubhead, not from sorrow, but from the weight of realization: I was not playing against the course. I was playing against myself. The greens are fast. Almost too fast. Like wet glass in a fever dream. The rough is not thick but strategic—it exists precisely where your ball will land when hope turns to recklessness. I could feel Daly’s laughter in the wind, faint and deranged. After the round, I wandered into the casino, past blinking slot machines and the hollowed faces of men who had lost everything but their golf gloves. I sat at the bar, ordered something brown and unspecific, and stared into the neon void. The Links at Rolling Hills is not a golf course. It is a mirror. It shows you who you are beneath the khakis and polos, beneath the swing tips and yardage books. It strips you bare and says: this is the truth of your game, and perhaps, of your life. John Daly did not design this course to be fair. He designed it to be honest. And that is far, far more dangerous. Five stars, for a terrifying, brilliant, and unforgettable golf experience. Bring sunscreen, and possibly a therapist.

What a great course! I'm an out of towner, and I have been playing quite a few courses in the Yuba City / Chico area. Even in the winter, this course was great! The fairways were a bit yellow and the grass looks dead, but hitting off it felt like a normal fairway to me. The course is very challenging, and long. And I think the best part of everything is how affordable it is! $50 for 18 holes and it includes a cart. And the play it back rate is only $25! I will definitely be coming back. In the summer, I bet this course would be just as nice as resort courses... Pace of play was slow, 4.5 hours.
Jason R — Google review
Very slow play, no Marshall to keep things moving. Seems to draw a lot of beginner golfers who don't know etiquette. Same thing every time. We will not be back.
Dean D — Google review
Great course, wonderful practice facility, very friendly staff. Also, Brad, the golf instructor is an extremely good teacher. I signed up for 4 lessons with him. After the first lesson, my entire perspective changed from a “hitting the ball” focus to a very basic “swinging the club” approach. Dramatic improvement after just the first one hour lesson. Although we worked with a 7 iron, it is helping with all my clubs, I will be getting my grandchildren some lessons from Brad too. He knows how to make the game fun and relaxing and that has not been the normal story of my golf life! Great place!

Best course in the area by FAR! Professional staff and very courteous. Especially Steve. Great practice facilities as well.
Cory C — Google review
We played a round on 8/27/23 and was not impressed with the course. Several of the tee boxes are in terrible shape. The sand traps are full of weeds and a lot of loose grass along the fairways. There are bare spots on a few of the greens. I have played this course several times and have always had a great experience. I don't know what is going on this time and what you are charging to play in these kind of conditions is to much. I live here locally please don't make me want to go somewhere else.
Tom H — Google review
The course is fun and well maintained. But this is more about a great lesson. Brad helped me with my slice in a few minutes. I left feeling positive about my game. I felt like his priority was to help me improve and enjoy the game vs selling more lessons.

Really great selection of olive oils and vinaigrettes! We really appreciate the recommendation of the woman who helped us when we arrived - lemon olive oil, who knew that was a thing! Finding it was a little confusing, you have to walk along the right side of the building, go through the first door you come to, and the store is through the warehouse.

The building is the warehouse and not inviting at all. The tasting room is not fancy and just one small room. That being said, we loved the man (dang it forgot his name) who sold us on almost everything available. The oils were so good and the infused garlic amazing. We also bought fruit balsamic vinegar. We were so happy we were brave and called to inquire.

Olive Pit

Gourmet grocery store
Cafe
Nestled just south of Red Bluff along the I-5 freeway, Olive Pit is a delightful pit stop that every traveler should consider during their journey. This expansive shop offers an impressive array of olive-related products, including various olive oils and vinegars, alongside a self-serve condiment bar for customizing your meals. The tasting bar is a highlight where you can sample an assortment of olives before indulging in delicious menu items like their famous BLT or burgers loaded with olives.
It was super quick and really delicious, especially the milkshake with almond butter. Just make sure to grab the toppings for the Build-Your-Own on the side — they’re right next to the pickup area. I missed when they called out my burger because the staff member spoke very fast and it was hard to understand, but we figured it out and had a great meal
LENNA B — Google review
Excellent roadside “pit stop” featuring free olive tastings, interesting snacks and gifts, friendly staff, and clean bathrooms. Wide variety of olive products such as oils, stuffed olives, jams and candies, cosmetics, tchotchkes and gifts. The free olive tasting bar is self-operated. Step right up to experience a variety of familiar and new flavors such as Beer, Texas Hot Chili, Garlic Stuffed, Almond Stuffed, Anchovy Stuffed, and more. Large, shady parking lot surrounded by olive trees.

Passing through from Oregon and seen this olive store that sells olives that are grown from near by trees and they had pretty good selection including olives marinated in beer. Also have Olive oil, you can even sample some of them both. There is also a small area here that sells burgers and sandwiches.

Great pit stop (pun intended) between Sacramento and Redding. There's an olive tasting bar, including olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Overall, while the grocery store itself has a lot to offer, our kids love the little cafe the most, which allows them to build their own burgers and indulge in really crispy tater tots.

I stopped by because of all the signs along highway 5. The Olive Pit is amazing! All the different olives, and they have an olive tasting bar for you to try them. Stop by the café and try their Mufalatta burger or sandwich, they are delicious. Also they have a condiment bar to make sure you put on it what you like. Give this place a try, it is not expensive and the people working here are extremely nice.

You definitely want to give yourself enough time to look through the museum and the store because it's filled with so many amazing rocks and fossils. The dark room in the museum section is so cool. My parents have purchased quite a few pieces of jewelry from Gaumers, and it's all beautiful. Seeing the store in person was really a treat. The jewelry is beautiful and reasonably priced. The women who worked there were friendly and attentive as well. I will be making it a point to stop in every time I'm in Northern CA. Updated October 2023*- Gaumer's is still just as lovely and has added a new room within the museum area, which is a must-see.

When my dad was a kid he grew up in Red Bluff and played around at the Gaumer's gem shop. He learned a lot there from the family and he brought us up there when we went out to visit his side of our family. The ownere there were very nice and remembered him and were able to catch up. Their rock museum has many awesome educational examples of precious stones and ancient artifacts! They have several examples of Native American arrowheads, petrified wood, many mortars and pestles, as well as a display of old gold-mining equipment. They have a special dark room set up where you can shine different wavelength UV light onto reactive stones and see them glow, as well as a beautiful backlight display of slab agates and other kinds of stones that kids can look into detail in. We came with our younger cousin who seemed to really enjoy looking at all the stones. They also have many examples of precious stones sculptures from many different artistic traditions, cultures, and methods. Definitely a place to visit if you're going through to the mountains to learn about the terrain around Lassen, Shasta, or Tehama county in general.

The Central Valley is an extensive valley and farming area stretching for around 450 miles. It produces over half of the United States' produce, making it a significant agricultural region. Despite being mainly flat, it boasts excellent fishing spots, world-renowned wine grape fields, and well-connected freeways. Additionally, it is home to California's capital and contains a substantial amount of the state's water reserves. Its agricultural output by value makes up eight percent of the nation's total output.

It's the home of California's capitol, much of the state's water reserves, and 8 percent of the nation's agricultural output by value, not to mention some of the best wine grapes in the world.

The Central Valley is not very beautiful. It is quite hazy, especially near Bakersfield, and there is not much to see except for the occasional mountain, most often blocked by haze. It is very flat, with not much natural appeal. On the other hand, it produces amazing products. Bakersfield oranges are the freshest and juiciest I have ever had, and Fresno’s sugarcane is delicious. While the cities themselves do not have much to offer, the surrounding farmlands definitely do. Scenery: 2/10 Products: 9/10

John and Linda were incredibly inviting! It’s a very intimate setting and all the wine’s were very good, especially the Celebration Red and the 2019 Malbec, we ended up buying bottles of both because they are just that good! I highly recommend going to check them out in the cute little town of Manton, it’s worth the drive!

Of all the organic wines I have tried, Algers is the superior brand! Every variety is excellent, whether it be red, white or desert. It is a family run small winery and is located in the northern California vicinity of Lassen Volcanic National Park. You can have their wine delivered to your home and will be amazed with the velvety texture of hand-made wines! Try a bottle of the Reserve and experience the rare experience of organic perfection!

Sure, I live in Manton, since 2019....but I just discovered this amazing winery recently. While not a wine aficionado, I did work as a grape sampler for Constellation in and around Paso Robles.....so I know a little bit about wine. I cannot wait to take friends and family to this hidden gem I happen to live near!! While their Cabernet is award winning and seductive, their mourvèdre is beyond words from this mere consumer and average Jane. I'm going back this week to buy several bottles as gifts.

I was very disappointed. Always enjoyed coming here in the past. Not only did the gentleman pouring the wine give maybe 1/2 oz pours but when question he was a bit defensive. He was very precise making sure you received a little as possible. We both know they weren't 2oz pours as he stated. I had not even taken a taste yet from the glass shown. Definitely not worth the $15 tasting fee. Gave no details other that the name of the wine and when asked where the grapes came from, gave a very flippant answer "whoever gives them to us" Did not feel welcomed, but made to actually feel unwelcomed. I will say the food was delicious. We ordered the charcuterie board and both pizzas.

The lady asked us to go up the counter when we sat down. I dont know why we couldn't stay at the table and the counter was full and very small. We ended up paying one dollar shy from $100 for two sparkling wines plus 3 tasting fees! The tasting selection and pour was very limited we almost couldn't taste enough to know which wine we like. By the time we tasted 4 bottles, they are all mixed in the same glass. Tasting fee was $15. It would be better if they charge $10 as stated on their website or waive if buy the bottle.

Pretty property & patio. The outside brick oven for pizza is a cool feature. Their 4-legged mascot is such a friendly dog. I do think all wineries in the north state should wave the tasting fee if you buy some bottles to go & because ours wasn’t, that was a bit of a letdown. We’ll definitely be returning though. I bet Spring on their property is stunning.

Beautiful and relaxing place to watch the wild horses munch on hay. In the late fall their natural feeding is being supplemented with hay. A good time for viewing is around 11 am when they are down the hill to feed. Call the number to schedule an appointment to watch these wild horses. There is a small gift store where you can grab a t-shirt or hat and leave a donation.

If you've never owned a ranch, but have always wanted to, this is a great place to get a taste. The team has reached wild horses and burros from the Bureau of Land Management and really created a special place to enjoy these beautiful animals. Tours are from 11AM - 3PM (maybe just covid hours) and are guided by volunteer staff. We had a very knowledgeable guide that gave us an in depth look at horse & burro care and answered all of our questions. The place does take donations, so please give after your tour - and also has a small shop where you can get merch. If you're on the way to/from Lassen (which we were), it's definitely worth a stop.

My experience with Wild Horse Sanctuary is only through my daughter, Hallie Bates. She has told me all about her experiences when she visited you and has shown me all the pictures from there. I've been sending donations to a Wild Burrow rescue, so I'd love to help you out as well. I'm glad to know you're around for the horses. I wasn't aware of your quest.

Friendly people, horses are well kept and offer rides that fulfill intermediate to professional riders's expectations. The horses are full of life and show you a good time. You will need to pay attention and offer some controls to your stead. Thanks for a great time and for the lunch and cold drinks carried on horseback.

Great walking trail along the river with some nice flowers & rock formations, it’s also really nice to see that there are bird houses of different sizes along the trails. The trail wasn’t packed at all & we saw one other hiker. We didn’t hike the whole trail, it seemed a bit long for our mid-day walk but it’s so nice to have these trails nearby. The trails are a bit skinny & you have to go off the min trail due to overgrown dead brush but the trail is fairly easy & well maintained.

My wife and I drove below the Salmon Festival sign in Anderson, on the way to Family Fitness the other morning. Out of curiosity, the next day we loaded up our 4 heelers and drove out to see this place before the crowds. We walked the entire Hatchery with the dogs and could not believe what we were experiencing. From the overlook of Battle Creek to the fertility process and feeding, Well, just go see it! Nows a good time!

Win-River Resort & Casino

Casino
Casinos & Gambling
The Win-River Resort & Casino is a laid-back event venue with clean and comfortable rooms, great food, reasonably priced drinks and seasoned bartenders. Guests can enjoy live entertainment, a golf course and a pool. The cafe bar offers cheap drinks and great people watching on weekend nights. The resort also has a nice hot tub and gym facilities for guests to use. However, some guests have expressed disappointment with the slot machines, wishing they were more generous in payouts.
I had the pleasure of staying here two different occasions in the same week. The rooms were always clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. They have a heated outdoor pool, hot tub and mini waterfall. Plenty of access areas (with your hotel key card) around pool. A walking trail behind as well. Lots of parking and handicap parking available. Hotel rooms were not a far walk from the casino side. The elevators worked great as well. I enjoyed myself at the casino. They had a good selection of games. The restaurant had good food and there was bars all around to get drinks quickly, no matter where you were playing. The staff very friendly and super helpful! The only complaint I have is that we didn’t get a pull out bed in requested rooms. Staff brought a roll out bed and extra comforters and pillows. It was just as comfy or better and fit perfectly. Thank you for making our stay great.

We were just passing through and needed a place to stay, and this turned out to be one of the best casino experiences I’ve ever had. My wife and I opted for the romance package, and it was absolutely worth it. The free play alone covered the cost, and we were treated to a bottle of wine and beautifully romantic room decorations. The food was excellent—highly recommend the calzone, which was more than enough for both of us. The bars were lively, and the bartenders made the experience even better with their friendly service. We also took advantage of the pool and hot tub, which added a relaxing touch to our stay.

Win River Casino is a massive property with plenty of space both inside and out. Parking is plentiful and easy, which makes visiting stress-free from the start. The casino floor itself is very large, with rows of slot machines and table games that keep it busy and lively. One thing I appreciated was the attention to cleanliness-hand sanitizer stations and masks were available throughout the property. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming. The connected hotel also makes it convenient for out-of-town guests, with clean and comfortable rooms just steps away from the gaming floor. That said, the smoke inside is definitely noticeable, which can be a drawback if you're sensitive to it. Like most casinos, the focus is heavily on slots and table games, so there isn't much beyond that in terms of entertainment variety. I was lucky enough to double my money while I was there, which made the visit more exciting, but I also realized casinos just aren't really my thing. Still, for anyone who enjoys gaming and wants a full-service experience with easy access, solid amenities, and helpful staff, Wind River delivers a good overall visit.

Honestly probably the worst experience gaming I've had. Tonight I am losing right out of the gate so im heading out an play one more machine on a 2.00 max bet for that game an it gives me a 7 free spin bonus and pays out 0.00!? On a max bet for a bonus??? Crazy its like this all the time here id go to corning if I could. Cleaner bathrooms better games and you can get your own drinks! Way better experience even when you loose!!

Slot options were good and food is good. Wished they had more food options. Rooms were clean but no security. A random person followed us to our floor and turn back when they saw us go into our room. Very scary. A lot of homeless outside and inside the casino. Many people sitting on slot machines not playing or with 1 dollar in the machine so that they can stay inside the casino. I don't recommend going there alone.

Nice well kept casino floors and great parking access easy to get in and out of as far as location but for some reason staff are not friendly and they r not traveler friendly dew to not allowing me or my family member to have or travel backpack that Carrie our medication and medical supplies and or hygiene with us. When we approached the front desk we were greated with additude and rude unnecessary comments like well this isn't navada or Arizona so because I mentioned that we live in Arizona trip state and travel to Vegas and that we were unaware of the RULES of the casino and we are not trying to piss off anyone and apologize for the inconvenience of us being there. I have no intention on going back would rather travel to corning casino where we r greated with smile and appreciation for being guests

Smaller casino but right off a main road in Redding. Parking was open in the first row when we went in the later afternoon. Had no problems getting drinks at our machines. Left with winnings. Didn't stay in the resort part just played some slots. Very clean and noticable security at the front door made it feel safe, like had we won just a tad over what we did security would have walked us to the car. Had a lot of fun here.

A Magical Night at Glowing Wild – Redding’s Radiant Hidden Gem If you’re looking for a night of wonder, beauty, and unforgettable memories in Redding, look no further than Glowing Wild. This lantern festival is unlike anything else in Northern California—an awe-inspiring blend of art, nature, and light that feels straight out of a fairytale. From the moment you step through the entrance, you're transported into a dreamlike world filled with giant illuminated sculptures. Towering tigers, graceful dolphins, luminous butterflies, and glowing floral arches line the walking paths, each more breathtaking than the last. The colors are vivid, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the atmosphere is pure magic. What makes Glowing Wild truly special is how it transforms the familiar landscape of Turtle Bay and the McConnell Botanical Gardens into something otherworldly. The lanterns are perfectly placed to complement the natural surroundings, and as the sun sets, the entire area begins to glow with warmth and wonder. The iconic Sundial Bridge lit up in the background only adds to the surreal beauty.

What a fun family trip!! We are from southern Oregon and decided to check out Redding for the first time, with this being our first stop… and it did NOT disappoint!!! Everybody had an amazing time, my daughter is 12 and my son is 5 and both of them said that it was the best day. Beautiful well maintained landscaping and animal enclosures, extremely friendly staff. Tons of free giveaway stuff, perfect entertainment for the little ones! You can feed parrots - so fun! And during season you can go inside the butterfly house. It was extremely hot and humid when we went, it would have been nice if they had misters along the walkway/benches but other than that, such a fun memorable experience and we will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend

The park is 5 stars easy, very beautiful area, the museum I would give 3.5. It's interesting, not too big but I liked the birds and was there was a Steam Punk exhibit which was nice. The remaining areas were nice but somewhat limited. Some of the animals are in rather small enclosures. It's a bit expensive for a family visiting and maybe getting a souvenir or two. Older kids may get bored after an hour and for $22 each it would not be worth it. I recommend going to the park, hiking, enjoying the bridge, nature, and the many wild animals you can find in the park. I saw deer and a skunk among other things.
Remey R — Google review
This experience was amazing. There are so many things to do included in the admission fee. Our favorites were the dinosaur exhibit, butterfly house, and the bird house. Aside from the favorites everything else was great also. Something fun is that most of the exhibits have things for kids to touch. Hands on learning is when my daughter has the most fun so I appreciated this experience.
Carmen C — Google review
This place was amazing! Outdoor play areas and shows teaching kids about the wildlife in the park and within the area. The highlight for my kids were the butterfly conservatory and the parrot house - the kids got to look at both close up and really enjoyed identifying the different types. The train was also fun, and takes you over the Sundial bridge, which is beautiful! There's plenty of parking and the staff were really friendly and helpful. All in all, a good full day of fun with the kids :)

Sundial Bridge is a stunning architectural gem that gracefully spans the Sacramento River, designed by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. This pedestrian bridge not only serves as a vital link between Turtle Bay Exploration Park's museum and its beautiful Arboretum and Gardens but also acts as a gateway to Redding’s expansive Sacramento River National Recreation Trail.
This place was very cool! We've got to go back when we have more time. Parking is free, which is great and there is plenty of it. The park is huge... there are electric scooters and bikes you can rent to ride around. There were a lot of people just on leisurely evening strolls. My wife and I went by the lake and just sat for a few after taking our time across the bridge. It was an absolutely beautiful view on both sides. There were kayakers and tubers on the river. It was also doggy walking hour 🤭 Plenty of furry friends enjoying a stroll. Very peaceful place. There apparently is a restaurant on site as well but we went too late. 😣 next time !

Beautiful place to just sit and relax. The river flowing below has a wide bank and feels magical with the water stream resembling raindrops on the surface. It's pretty cool on a summer evening. Lots of people (not overcrowded) and friendly families around. The car park is extremely close, so it's not much of a hassle to walk it up.

Do visit this place if you visit Redding. The whole bridge is lit up at night making it a surreal experience. They also have bikes and scooters that you can rent. Bike rentals felt cheaper than the scooters. Many scenic trails besides the river. So take your time and have fun exploring the place. Sunday they had the farmers market setup.

This cool, architectural wonder in Redding is at Turtle Bay Exploration Park is super cool. Use the QR code at the beginning for an audio guided tour with lots of cool information as you walk across.

The Sundial Bridge is a beautiful spot with a great view of the water. It’s a relaxing place to walk, and there’s plenty for kids to enjoy. The nearby museum and park make it even better, offering both fun and learning opportunities. A wonderful place for a family outing. After parking there is a nice river and picnic area as well but it’s not clean space while I visited,this area isn’t connected to the bridge so not to worry!

The Redding Sundial Bridge is a magnificent engineering masterpiece. It is the largest working sundial in the world that is most accurate during the solstices and its shadow accurately tracks time daily from approximately 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM. The Sundial Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The walkway has stunning views of the Sacramento River with all its wildlife and spectacular scenic views of the mountains.
Simona V — Google review
Very beautiful bridge day and nite. The only down side was there isn't much other things to do around, which makes our driving distance of about 4 hours each way not really worth it. I'd say it's a great attraction if you live closer or if you are on the way to somewhere else on a road trip, or here for hiking or rafting. The hotel right next to it is not worth it's value. I would recommend to stay a little further and save some money. The only value of it was the walking distance to the bridge. (Star did not deduct for this cause the main review was for the attraction)

Bethel Church Redding

Mentioned on

Non-denominational church
Sights & Landmarks
Bethel Church Redding is a modern Evangelist church and school known for its lively weekend services featuring devotional music. The church aims to prepare people for an encounter with the Lord rather than focusing on famous personalities, as seen in their Sunday evening services. Despite some negative reviews, many visitors have found the guest speakers to be humble and touched by God's presence. Some have even been moved by sermons from influential figures like Bill Johnson.
A must visit if you are passing by if you live in town and are in search of a home church. We travelled from Canada to attend a Sunday service and it did not disappoint. The worship is beautiful and the message is always on point. Kids ministry is beautiful. We went to the 8 am service which was great.

This is such an awesome church and so God inspiring and I'm on a healing quest to get away from dysfunctional people and originally I was just going to go to Southern Oregon and then cut West, but now I'm making a pilgrimage to Redding just to catch the service at Bethel this morning, and I am so pumped!! I've been hiding out in Mount Shasta to escape the heat, and God woke me up at 3:30 this morning, and I'm originally from Minnesota, and the time there would have been about 5:30, and through chat GPT this morning when I was getting information about the church times it reminded me about psalms 5:3 "in the morning I lay my request before you, and wait expectantly." Wooooooooo e! God is so good!! Update: I attended the Sunday church on 7.6.25 at 8:00 a.m. and I forget the speaker's name but I have seen him on YouTube before and he was talking about space and the word Surge and it was so awesome and enlightening and informative but also funny and like all the speakers here he is just amazing messenger of God. I got there a little early to grab a coffee and went to the bookstore to get Chuck Perry's "Alignment" book, and who walked in just a minute after I did when I was at the checkout, but Chuck Parry, who greeted me and signed the book. To be honest I've been going through some really tough stuff lately going no contact with my family from realizing how dysfunctional everything was after reading sbout their egomaniacal in narcissistic behavior that happens when you reject God and the books ("Pulling your Strings, "Healing from Narcissistic Abuse" etcetera) described to the letter their selfish behavior, and I got up at 3:30 in Mount Shasta yhe night before so I was a little steep deprived, and so I had trouble staying awake the whole day, but by night time I was an hour east of Eureka, California camping, and I walking along the shore around 9:30 a little bit before I was going to go to sleep, and I was feeling so hopeless and and lost and feeling all alone realizing the only person I have in my life right now is God (but in hindsight that's enough) and I was having some really negative thoughts as I was walking along the shore with Chuck's book, and I opened it and started to read it under the moonlight, and was reminded after reading it that I need to turn to God after reading the first dozen pages or so I prayed and like always something happened that was just enough to give me some encouragement, but I ended up having the most vivid dreams where I had confrontations with my family where I was trying to seek answers and they were dismissing me like usual with the typical labels of sensitive or overreacting, even though I saved all their lives many times by putting my brain and body in harm's way to protect them from my bipolar older brother, and I woke up at 3:30 kicking my limbs around in a rage and I had a mini nervous breakdown where I was heave crying, and filled up about 8 paper towels of snot and tissue, but I started praying and journaling I and felt immediately better, and I'm doing good today and so much better and I'm actually feeling optimistic, but had I not turned to God I would be so broken. Enough about me though, the church was so awesome, and I saw so many kind people with niceness in their eyes and what a great energy that was there, not just from the speakers, but from people attending. I was going to write for people to pray for me but instead because God always heals me and makes me stronger like a bone that is broken when I am broken I will instead ask people to pray for lost sheep like my family who have rejected God in place of their egos. God bless Anyone who reads this and God bless everybody who's hurting and know that God can heal your Brokenness because I have been broken so many times in so many ways and have nothing but God, but that's more than enough and I feel whole now and I know I will be broken again but the next time that happens I'm not going to entertain negative thoughts I'm going to go straight to God and start praying.

So recently, my sweet wife and I visited Bethel Church. We drove over five hours from Central Oregon just to have a time of spiritual refreshment from being in a weary season and I cannot tell you how blessed and encouraged. We were to attend the weekend service and the prayer time on Saturday morning at this time, my spouse and I we are experiencing homelessness because of inflation in the economy and we were treated no differently at the church then if we were rich and had a lot of money, we were not looked down upon or treated any differently or people felt sorry for us. It was such a refreshing experience And it helped us tremendously in so many ways physically mentally spiritually and emotionally cannot say enough good things about Bethel Church in Redding, California.

The first service we attended was a baptism service. People were publicly repenting of, and forsaking, new age practices while being baptized into new life in Christ. Worship was wonderful! The next day Bill Johnson preached a service on repentance and stewarding your heart. Lou Engel was also there preaching about communion. I personally enjoyed reading all the negative reviews on here because Jesus said that that people would say those sorts of things about the people who follow Him (and they also said Jesus was a blasphemer who had a demon). We visited about a year ago, but I thought I’d leave a review after all the bad press they’ve been getting lately. Just goes to show you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Shasta State Historic Park offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing visitors to step back in time to the Gold Rush era. As you wander through the park, reading the signs and exploring the remnants of this once-thriving town, you gain a deeper understanding of our rich history. While it may not be a sprawling attraction, Shasta State Historic Park is well worth a stop if you're in the area. It's a chance to learn about the hardships and triumphs of those who lived during the Gold Rush, and to appreciate the legacy they left behind. Overall, visiting Shasta State Historic Park is a rewarding experience that sheds light on an important chapter in our history. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the stories of the past and gain a newfound appreciation for the pioneers who shaped our world.

Not much is left of Shasta. But the museum and ruins are interesting to see. Because it is so small I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit. But if you are nearby it is definitely worth visiting. The entry to the museum is 3 dollars for an adult. The buildings are free to see for everyone

This place was an awesome find! The museum was filled with a wealth of information and was a glimpse into a time in history nearly forgotten by many. The relics were hauntingly beautiful. You can get a great sandwich at Shorty's and enjoy a soda on the porch. The boardwalk, friendly people, and town overall is very hospitable.

Whiskeytown Lake is the main draw at this sprawling forested park with camping, hiking & fishing.
During my recent visit to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, I was truly impressed by the beauty. I recommend starting at the Visitor Center where the knowledgeable staff provide excellent explanations and help you get a map of the area.The park features stunning attractions including a whiskey town lake, the Kennedy Memorial, a serene waterfall, Powerhouse where u can relax, Tower house hotel, various trails, and water activities. The park pass costs $25 for a private vehicle, but it’s free if you have an America the Beautiful pass. Clean bathroom. If you're near Shasta, Whiskeytown is definitely worth a visit for its natural beauty.

The Only Reason Anyone Can Go To Heaven, Be Forgiven Of Their Sins, And Saved From their sins By God Is Because God, Out Of Love, Sent Jesus, Who Was Sinless, Lived A Perfect Life, Which Means He Was Able To Fulfill All Of God’s Commands, And Died For our sins, We are saved from our sins (it’s consequences meaning God’s Wrath And hell, as well as sin’s power over us) and can get to heaven Only Because Of Jesus’ Perfect Life (Fulfillment Of God’s Commands) And Sacrifice For our sins On The Cross. Jesus said " I Am The Way The Truth And The Life. No one comes To The Father except through Me." and "I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I Am He you will die in your sins" just spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ He's The Only Way to be saved from eternal damnation in hell please read. God is perfectly righteous and holy, and all of us have sinned and fall short of His Glory. Even if we don't see ourselves as that sinful, in God's eyes, any sin is unacceptable. We have all sinned greatly and cannot meet God's Commandments. The Bible, God’s Word, Lists God’s Commandments In Exodus 20:2-17. Our “Good” deeds, that are not Truly Good and that are stained by our sin, can't justify us before a holy God. There Must Be A Punishment. That Punishment Is Eternal Wrath And Judgement In hell. We are all Justly Deserving Of God’s Wrath And Eternal Torment. But God, Out Of Love Sent Down His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came and took our place-He lived a sinless life, fulfilled the prophecies in the old testament, and took the punishment we deserve on the cross so we could be made right with God when we repent, which is a turning from your sin, and put our faith in Jesus and what He did alone, His Perfect Obedience To God’s Commandments, The Law Of God, And His Perfect Sacrifice Alone As Fully Enough To Save us From God’s Wrath In hell, not in our deeds, Repentance And Faith Are A Gift If The Holy Spirit, They Are Not The Basis Of our salvation, Only Jesus’ Perfect Fulfillment Of God’s Commandments And Sacrifice For our sins Is. We're united To Jesus By Faith, Which Is How our sins were punished In Him, And How His Righteousness And Obedience Is Accredited To us. Both God’s Mercy And Justice Is Displayed. When we put our faith in Jesus, That Is The Work Of The Holy Spirit In us, And The Spirit Changes us To Become More Holy; so if you claim to believe but are regularly sinning without remorse, it's a sign your faith isn't genuine. Join a local Church for discipleship and get council on baptism, if you live near Houston/ katy I recommend Cornerstone Presbyterian Church Or Covenant Presbyterian Church.

Whiskeytown Lake

Bodies of Water
Whiskeytown Lake is a stunning body of water surrounded by magnificent mountains, creeks and waterfalls. It offers a plethora of activities such as boating, fishing and swimming. Camping at this location requires a permit, but there are many other areas to stop in for visitors who wish to do so at their own risk. Visitors are strongly urged to keep the place tidy. Swimming or kayaking in the lake is an amazing experience because the water temperature is just right and the scenery is breathtaking.
The water is warmer the the other nearby lakes and the lake is big enough that, if you look, you can find a secluded place to hang out. We camp at oak bottom every year before the crowds of summer

We love Whismeytown. There are so many locations on this lake to take your family to find a spot to day-chill if you don’t rent a Pontoon to enjoy the lake. The water is clean the views are breathtaking.

Visited the lake in early August, drove right off of Hwy 299, and was able to access the water very easily. The water was clear and the perfect temperature. I wasn’t able to detour to much off my route but I am sure you can find places and beaches with handicap parking and access to the water.

Whiskeytown lake is the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. It is so peaceful there and hard to take your eyes off of every inch of the area. Everywhere you turn there there's something amazing to be discovered. The lookout point by The visitors center is also a great place to see how much already of the lake from one location. from what I understand there are tons of different locations to visit there at the lake that offer different views and scenes. There is a little bit of walking and order to get close to the lake but nothing unreasonable. I highly suggest visiting this specific lake. It would be a shame if anyone had come to Shasta County and did not take a trip to this location. The locals and travelers that have visited here have always had the same reaction of complete awe. Great place for kids as well and it is perfect for hot summer days. I often see people reading books by the lake as well as swimming. Just thinking about it makes me want to go there right now. Is very peaceful and quiet so whatever you looking for I can guarantee you this has something to offer. Be sure to charge your phone because you'll be taking lots of photos and bring food with you as there are not many places around there to grab a bite to eat.

An amazingly beautiful place. We parked in a little layby jist beyond the visitor centre which was quiet and had great views, but you could really walk around from there. It was heart breaking to see to the devastation from the wildfires to one side. Praying for the area and for protectio. From future fires.
