Shasta Lake, Reservoir in Shasta County, California, US.
Shasta Lake spans 30,000 acres with 365 miles of shoreline, creating four major arms from the Sacramento, Pit, and McCloud Rivers inflows.
The construction of Shasta Dam between 1935 and 1945 submerged the town of Kennett and several traditional Wintun settlements beneath the waters.
The reservoir functions within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, managed by the Shasta-Trinity National Forest administration.
Bridge Bay Marina provides 700 boat slips, watercraft rentals, dining facilities, and direct access to the main body of water.
The reservoir contains water reaching depths of 517 feet and holds 4,552,000 acre-feet, making it California's largest water storage facility.
