The Falls are located at the end of the trail, and from there it's a very short clamber down to the Falls themselves. The Falls fall into a reasonably sized pond that is shallow and great for wading in the cool waters during a hot day. It's shallow enough so you can bring a folding patio chair into the water. I recommend the Crystal Creek Falls.

It was scenic, there's lots of different lakes that dot the area. It's really pretty. People come here for boating, swimming, and hiking up to the waterfalls.

I suppose perfect swim weather. Other water sports I'm sure bring in many from afar. Nature lovers and people who like to travel in RVs or travel trailers I think would love this place. Probably few better places for camping. Due to the shape of the lake there is lots of shore and very few people using it. I think its an underrated lake but I still prefer Lake Tahoe - and at about the same distance for me from home I probably would never come to this lake as a destination. There is something about the trees or the air in Lake Tahoe that lures me in more like a fly to a bug zapper... and I'm not alone - its popularity is shown by the packed beaches. I can compare this place only to Lake Tahoe and another thing that I love about LT is how it (or at least South Lake Tahoe) is the perfect marriage of nature and city. There are bars and steak houses and music venues and other thing you could imagine that a decent city has. Mount Shasta seems to just be nature. If your driving long distances I think its worth a stop. Take an hour. Stretch your legs - get in your 10,000 steps even when you are on the road.

Booking the pontoon was easy and straightforward through their website, with no issues at all. When we arrived, we checked in at the front desk. The boat driver and all passengers are required to use iPads to initial and sign a waiver before getting on the boat. The check-in process was very simple and took about 10 minutes. The employee who helped us was friendly and nice. Once we completed the paperwork, the employee gave us a boat assignment tag, parking pass and directed us to pick up our rental. We headed down to the docks, where we were assigned our pontoon. We then took the boat over to the launch area, loaded all of our gear, and headed out for the day. The pontoon itself was definitely showing its age. It wasn't particularly clean and had cobwebs throughout the boat. It had a hardtop canopy that provided plenty of shade, and while the seats were in decent shape with no holes or tears, they were noticeably dirty. I understand that these are rental boats and they naturally experience a lot of wear and tear, so I wasn't expecting a brand-new boat. However, I do think the overall cleanliness could be improved. That said, the boat was functional and got us where we needed to go without any issues. We found a nice cove, anchored up, and enjoyed the day on the lake. At the end of the day, we returned to the dock, unloaded our gear, and handed the boat back to an employee. The return process was just as easy as the check-in. Once the boat was returned, there was no need to go back into the office or complete any additional paperwork. Overall, despite some of the cleanliness and condition issues with the pontoon, we had a good experience. The booking, check-in, and return processes were all very easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely consider renting a boat from here again, although I would hope to see some improvements in the cleanliness and upkeep of the boats.

We were having fun and I wasn't watching the sun in the sky- and then realized that we needed to get to a gas station ASAP. We pulled in on absolute fumes to Bridge Bay at 6:05pm, and were greeted by a very kind young man who let us know unfortunately that they were closed. I begged for a miracle- single lady on a lake with a bunch of kids, and he took me to see his manager to plead my case. I even offered them $100 cash for any gas they might have... manager said no. "Nope, I don't have the codes." No idea what that means... just know he refused to help me. I realize that this was my mistake- but honestly, a gas station should have a way to help people in emergencies. I'd leave a one star review- but the young man was so kind and polite, he was really trying to help, despite his manager. It was a lesson learned about gas, closing times, and I have a new awareness about the lake community- you are really on your own out there.
