Friendly customer service. We showed up at 7am, the day after Christmas and they were open already. We were warmly greeted and helped. We rented snow shoes for the McCloud Falls Trail. Drop off of the equipment was quick and easy too. The food and coffee next door was also decent and fairly priced.

The three falls may be visited within an hour.
Reviewed By SteelCity13 - Austin, Texas
This place is great! There are 3 sets of falls to hike to and each are uniquely different. The middle and lower were my favorite. The lower ones you can sit right next too and there are areas that are safe to jump off and swim in. The middle falls are the most scenic and you just need to spend time their taking in their aw! This is a great 5 miles hike if you have the time and want to see natures beauty but not most of the hike is in direct sunlight.

Just off the freeway and an easy hike down through the forest, you come upon this delightful waterfall in front of a womb-like cavern. You can stand behind the waterfall and be sprayed by the water, cooling you down on a hot day. Red, iron-laden soil has been used to leave handprints on the rocks. Looking up there are tall columns of hexagonal basalt stone which when touched, make you feel this is a place where heaven & earth meet. Following the path beyond the waterfall, there is a vista point overlooking the Sacramento River. One warning: don't stray from the path, there is poison oak everywhere.

Set in part of an old building and has a nice rustic feel but is clean and neat. Breakfast had nice options and was cooked right. Pleasant atmosphere and good service.

Nice gardens, well-kept, just off I-5 near Dunsmuir. Perhaps it's best in the summer, when more flowers and the like are in bloom, but it was still nice in early winter. Worth a stop if you're in the area anyway, or if you simply fancy a break from the 5 to sit and enjoy nature.

We were exploring the area while staying in nearby Dunsmuir when we happened on this lake. We paid a $2.00 entry fee and drove through a nice campground down to the lake. There is an awesome view of Mt. Shasta over the lake and when you added in the beautiful billowy clouds it made for a heavenly sight. We sat near the beach for awhile watching the people splash around enjoy themselves. This would be a great place to camp as they also had a waterpark and boat rentals. Would love to come back with our tent for a week.

I went trout fishing in September and for steelhead in November with Rick Cox of McCloud Fly Fishing Adventures. He is not only patient, a good teacher to correct those mistakes but he also knows WHERE THE FISH ARE. The rivers we visited were absolutely beautiful and, as luck would have it, we fished alone without anyone around.
It is helpful to be in good shape with strong legs to weather the rocks and current of the river. Rick can help both the experienced and neophyte fishers. I can't wait until next year (2012) to experience fishing again with Rick.
Good luck and keep your lines tight.
9. Mossbrae Falls

Reviewed By Michael g - San Francisco, California
We've visited many beautiful waterfalls during our travels, but the reward in seeing Mossbrae Falls after a perilous (and somewhat illegal) hike makes it that much more special. It is an idyllic spot - so peaceful and relaxing (except when trains pass just 40 meters away). Wear very sturdy shoes on the hike as the railroad bed is composed of very sharp rocks. If you exercise extreme caution, you will be rewarded with a unique lasting memory.

Interesting park enclosed in the woods with lovely grounds and tables suitable for picnics. The spring that flows on the northern end of the park is said to be the headwaters of the Sacramento River and provides water that people trap in plastic containers for drinking as well as a small downstream pool which is used for bathing.
