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.

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.
- 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.
