Lake Shastina
Northern California's Best Kept Secret

Mt. Shasta and Shastina rise majestically from this valley to over 14,000 feet providing an impressive and inspiring sight to all that live here. Year around, residents enjoy the weather caused in part by the mountains, due to their massive size --the glaciers, the snow pack and the lentricular clouds that swirl like space-craft about the area. Lake Shastina itself has only two or three light snows each year with winters that go a little below freezing at times and warm summers that rise to over 100 for a few days. Residents pride themselves on the wind as it keeps the air clean, fresh, and sweeps the leaves to the neighbors.

The lake itself is a beautiful, large body of water, built as a reservoir to supply water for the agricultural fields of Montague, California. During the winter and spring months the water from the Eddy's (mountains) fills the lake to provide the home for schools of fish, flocks of ducks and geese.

The development is a pristine, outdoor recreational community that has been chosen as one of the best 99 communities in America. The community has its own police, an emergency response team, a fire department, a community center, and homeowners associations to protect you and your investment.
