Discover Underground Eye Candy in Caves Near Shasta Lake

Hop on a catamaran and cruise across easy waters to reach the stunning subterranean world of Lake Shasta Caverns National Natural Landmark. Accessible only by boat, this geologic wonder is filled with amazing limestone formations. See gangly stalactites, bulging stalagmites, and soaring rock "curtains" with multicolored stripes. Guided tours spend 45-60 minutes inside the cave, plus the boat ride and a bus ride, approximately two hours in total. Visiting the caverns feels like a real adventure and is a hit with families. Kids can also search for gemstones in a mining sluice and play in a tree house carved of oak. Be sure to bring your camera!
