Shasta Lake is comprised of three major rivers (or arms) and a number of tributaries: Sacramento River, McCloud River, and Pit River.  Between the sheer size of Shasta Lake and the variations between each arm, you may feel like you’re actually visiting multiple lakes. Each arm contains is own unique characteristics, environment and recreation. The construction of Shasta Dam impounded these rivers and created what is arguably our state’s most beautiful landlocked expanse of water.
