The creation of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area was a product of a developing conservation movement in America. The park is a result of both local and national forces that recognized the value of the area's natural resources for sustainability and conservation purposes. The park's evolution from its original concept as a 5,000-acre county park to a 42,000-acre national recreation area within the national park system is a testament to those political leaders who had the vision to pursue it. From its original conception in 1937 and through its congressional creation in 1965, Whiskeytown continues to evolve as a treasured place for nearly one million annual visitors.
Whiskeytown Lake, created by an earthen dam on Clear Creek, is managed in partnership with the Bureau of Reclamation. The reservoir provides high-quality recreation opportunities because of its forested mountain setting and a mode of operation that keeps it full throughout the primary recreation season. In this regard, Whiskeytown is unlike most other major California reservoirs, including the two other units of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, which experience large drawdowns during summer months. At Whiskeytown, visitors can enjoy high-quality swimming beaches, lakeside camping, boating, and picnicking. Sport fishing is also a popular activity at Whiskeytown. While the primary focus for Whiskeytown visitors is water recreation, the park also contains cool rugged canyons, forests, streams, and waterfalls. Whether hiking, mountain biking or horseback riding, the land surrounding Whiskeytown Lake provides many opportunities for enjoyment.
Whiskeytown Lake-itself-comprises less than 10% of the park's acreage; most of the park is the surrounding forested land. Elevations range from 800 feet in lower Clear Creek below Whiskeytown Dam to more than 6,200 feet atop Shasta Bally, the highest peak in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. The natural vegetative communities at Whiskeytown are varied, with a mixture of mixed conifer forest, riparian communities, oak woodlands, and chaparral. These habitats provide shelter and sustenance to an abundant and diverse wildlife community, including numerous species of concern and other rare species, as well as providing highly desirable natural settings for recreation activities. The high-elevation forests have been profoundly infuenced by disruption of the historic fire regime, and today fire management plays a key role in the preservation and restoration of the natural communities in the park.
