Marina ice vending
Shasta Marina at Packers Bay
16814 Packers Bay Road, Lakehead, CA 96051
North of Redding, this branching reservoir follows several river valleys. One arm can fill a day of boating, and choosing a marina in advance saves a long detour along the shore.

Plan your lake day
From the Interstate 5 corridor near Lakehead, use the Packers Bay area as a starting point for a boat day. A houseboat group can arrange to meet at the marina before loading food and gear.
Field notes
Before you go
Look up launch availability for your chosen arm. Changing reservoir levels can leave a normally convenient ramp or access road out of use.
