There are numerous campgrounds along the river and plenty of trout and salmon fishing too. Shasta Lake, the largest human-made lake in California, offers a wide variety of water based recreation opportunities.

The Philpot Creek and Trail passes through a forest that was disturbed by the fires of 1987. As you explore the trail you will discover how a mixed conifer forest regenerates naturally and with human help after a wildfire. The Vistas in the Indian Valley-Butter Creek Area are particularly attractive to mountain bikers and equestrians during the spring and summer and to cross country skiers in the winter. These roads and trails pass through a diverse forest environment and the scenery is beautiful.
