Lake Britton is a reservoir on the Pit River in Shasta County, impounded by the Pit #3 Dam. It takes its water from the Pit River and from Clark Creek, Burney Creek and Hat Creek. A railroad bridge over the lake, now owned by the Great Shasta Rail Trail, was used for the bridge scene in the 1986 film Stand By Me.

The lake can be accessed from several points around its perimeter, with parking areas near popular spots. Water conditions and access may vary depending on the season and recent weather, so it is helpful to check local conditions before visiting.
