Things to do in Redding

Redding is the largest city in far Northern California and the hub for a vast rural region stretching to the Oregon border. As the seat of Shasta County, it serves as the area’s center for health care, retail, government and services. The Sacramento River runs through town beneath Santiago Calatrava’s glass-decked Sundial Bridge, and Shasta Dam, a few miles north, holds back the largest reservoir in California. Outdoor recreation and tourism play a growing role in the local economy.

  1. 01

    Sundial Bridge and Turtle Bay Exploration Park

    Calatrava’s pedestrian bridge works as a giant sundial over the Sacramento River and links Turtle Bay’s museum, arboretum and gardens on both banks.

  2. 02

    Shasta Lake

    California’s largest reservoir offers hundreds of miles of shoreline, and renting a houseboat is the classic way to explore its quiet arms and coves.

  3. 03

    Shasta Dam

    North of town, one of the largest concrete dams in the country holds back Shasta Lake, with a visitor center, views of Mount Shasta and seasonal guided tours.

  4. 04

    Lassen Volcanic National Park

    About an hour east, the park showcases bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, lakes and Lassen Peak, one of the southernmost volcanoes in the Cascade Range.

  5. 05

    Whiskeytown National Recreation Area

    West of the city, a clear mountain lake offers swimming, sailing and paddling, with trails leading to waterfalls including Whiskeytown Falls.

  6. 06

    Lake Shasta Caverns

    Tours begin with a boat ride across the lake and a bus climb up the mountain to limestone caves filled with stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone formations.
