    Shasta Dam Visitor Center viewed from the dam

    Each year visitors come from all over the world to see the "Three Shastas", Mount Shasta, Shasta Lake and Shasta Dam. Mt. Shasta stands a majestic 14,162 feet and is located about 50 miles north of Shasta Dam.

    Shasta Dam is approximately 10 miles north of Redding, California via Interstate 5. Take the Shasta Dam Blvd. exit (#685) and continue through the City of Shasta Lake for about 4 miles.
