Shasta County
Shasta Cascade Region
Shasta
County's metropolitan area has the distinction of being
a modern business community comfortably located in the
midst of the finest recreational area in California.
Residents and visitors enjoy excellent shopping, the
latest in cultural and educational facilities, and a
wide variety of outdoor leisure-time activities.
The
Redding Metro area is the regional center of Northern
California for health and legal services, retail shopping
and employment. Its location at the junction of I-5
and highways 299 and 44 make Redding the gateway to
the Cascade and Trinity Alps recreation areas. Shasta
Dam and Shasta Lake, with 350 miles of shoreline, provide
the areaÕs abundant water supply and inexpensive electrical
power. The Sacramento River meanders nine miles through
the middle of town, beginning just outside the City
below Shasta Dam. This stretch of river is one of the
finest trout-fishing waters in the Western United States.
