McCloud River: 3 waterfalls

We scouted three waterfalls on the McCloud River, east of Mt. Shasta City. Only the lower falls were runnable, and it caused quite a spectacle for all the looky-loos and swimmers at this spot.

Support restoration of natural water flows in the McCloud River. Please write letters or emails. This incredibly beautiful river is one of the great whitewater runs in California.

"We need to get letters off to the Forest Service and other agencies ASAP to show that whitewater boaters are interested in the McCloud River. The agencies have proposed a flow schedule that ... mimics the natural hydrograph by having high flows in the spring. These flows will provide two months of good boating in an above normal year and one month in a below normal water year."
