Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is located 10 miles west of Redding, California on State Highway 299, and is managed by the National Park Service. Created as part of the California Central Valley Project, Whiskeytown's beautiful 3,200 acre lake contributes both drinking and irrigation water to northern California, and offers many recreational activities, including swimming, scuba diving, kayaking, water skiing, mountain biking, boating and fishing. Its mountainous landscape offers opportunities for picnicking, hiking, hunting, and horseback riding. Historical remains of the 1850s California Gold Rush era, including the historic Tower House District and the Camden House, are found within the Park's 42,000 acres. Whiskeytown is located within the Klamath Mountain physiographic province and is an area of significant diversity due to the proximity to the Cascade Range, Coast Range, and Sacramento Valley. The lower elevations are primarily comprised of chaparral, knobcone pine, and mixed oak woodlands and scattered ponderosa pine. Higher in elevation, ponderosa pine and Douglas fir are interspersed with black oak and canyon live oak woodlands on north-facing slopes. Above 3,000 feet in elevation, the park becomes dominated by mixed conifer forests and montane chaparral. Most Park employees live in or near the city of Redding, population 88,700, which has a fine variety of medical facilities, schools (including two colleges), restaurants, retail outlets, and both cultural and outdoor recreational activities. Housing is readily available with an average 3-bedroom house selling for about $240,000. Rent for a 2-bedroom apartment ranges from $525 to $720 a month, and a 3-bedroom house from $1,080 to $1,350 a month. The climate is Mediterranean, with moderate winters and very hot summers.
