The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Redding, California (CA)
There's a variety of water sports in Redding, from whitewater rafting on the Sacramento River to waterskiing, swimming, fishing and sailing on Shasta Lake, one of four magnificent manmade lakes in this northeastern California town. When you're ready to dry off, there are also plenty of land-based activities, like camping or hiking in the national forests and parks, following walking trails through the 220-acre arboretum or spending time exploring two fascinating parks: Shasta State Historic Park and Turtle Bay Exploration Park. At Shasta State, you'll find the ghost town of Shasta City from the Gold Rush days, complete with restored stagecoach, barn and courthouse, with eerie reminders of where prisoners were kept and sometimes hanged. The ever-expanding 300-acre Turtle Bay Park houses the recently opened Turtle Bay Museum, with extraordinary hands-on exhibits focusing on the environment and an outstanding collection of American Indian baskets. The kids will love the park's Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp, which includes a playground, logging and ecology exhibits and the popular summer butterfly house, where the fragile winged creatures flit about and alight on welcoming visitors.

Scheduled for completion in Summer 2004, this unusually designed bridge, functioning as a sundial at one end and conveying a sense of weightlessness, connects the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park.

Beautiful area for a stroll with the Discovery Museum nearby and lots of great activities for free and charge. The bridge has an amazing design with a glass deck and crosses the Sacramento river

Godly, people, extremely sincere in Jesus Christ. Definitely worth visiting. Didn't expect much from the prophetic ministry - not having experienced it before. So I told them only my first name and nothing more. I was very surprised and grateful for the spot-on prophesy I received. Amazingly spot-on.

Lema Ranch is a beautiful place to walk and to sit on a bench to relax by looking over the pond and the wildlife. We went on a Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of parking and not many people on the trails. Many varieties of trees, many birds including geese, ducks, a heron, and woodpeckers. Really great place to go just to unwind.

This place is much improved with the renovations the playground is easier to see your kids and plenty of things for you kids to play on. The water area is great for the Redding heat. It came on at 10:00 on Sat morning. I don't know about other days.
6. Shasta State Historic Park

This historic park houses the remains of Shasta City, alive and bustling in the Gold Rush days, and now a ghost town with restored stagecoach, barn and courthouse.
Reviewed By jdc8mbc
This hidden gem of a ghost town is about 6 miles west of downtown Redding on Hwy 299. Our original intention was to spend the day at Lassen Volcanic National Park but the park was closed due to snow (in May!). This State park was a good substitute. The museum, which is housed in the old courthouse, provided a good context of life in Shasta during the gold rush. There's even a jail and gallows in the building. At the other end of the park is the Litsch store which replicates items and merchandise that were for sale during the 1880s. In-between the courthouse museum and Litsch store are ruins of brick buildings. Park rangers offered interesting facts and stories. Allow an hour. The park is open Thursdays through Sundays; free admission but donations gratefully accepted.
