Shastice Park

Headwaters Spring, located at the base of Spring Hill in Mount Shasta City Park, is renowned as the headwaters of the Upper Sacramento River, attracting both locals and visitors with its scenic beauty. This historic site, once part of the hunting grounds of the Wintun, Maidu, and Okwanuchu Indian tribes, features paths, benches, and a viewing patio that enhance the experience of its crystal-clear waters. The spring's water, which begins its journey from the snowy peaks of Mount Shasta, flows through underground lava tubes before emerging in the park. Restoration efforts in recent years have revitalized the area, ensuring its natural health and beauty while providing access to trails and wetlands for exploration. Generated from the website
