This is a must see for out of area visitors. It is a 30 minute drive from the cottage.
Guided tours will take you through these stunning caves where you can explore and see amazing underground formations.
The Lake Shasta Caverns are a network of caves located near the McCloud arm of Shasta Lake in California. It was formerly named Chalk Cave and Baird Cave, named after Spencer Fullerton Baird.
A natural beauty to visit for a few hours in the dead heat of summer! Boat ride over Shasta Lake, bus ride to top to caverns, and great tour guides! Family Fun too.
Lake Shasta Caverns are a network of caves located near the McCloud arm of Shasta Lake in California. Dated at least 200 million years, the caverns were formed by flowing water. Over the years this water drained leaving the caverns seen today. The caves are made entirely of limestone and feature a wide variety of formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, columns, and flowstone. The Discovery Room, one of eight known rooms in the cavern system, contains all types of limestone rock formation.
