As of February 21, 2024
The Shasta Lake Level impacts the availability of boat ramps
LOCAL BOAT RAMPS:
Antler’s Ramp: OPEN $16
Best option for January/February 2024
Sugarloaf Marina Boat Ramp: CLOSED $20
Marina is now closed for the season including the boat ramp. They have a chain across the road. Will reopen in May 2024.
Sugarloaf County Boat Ramp: CLOSED/OPEN (Lake is too high, Under water). Officially it is closed but there is nothing to prevent you from launching. If you do, be careful as the slope is not very good as lake is too high. For large boats like wakeboard boats, we highly recommend Antlers.
Salt Creek Boat Ramp: Unknown? Sorry. (Closest for Retreat 8)
We don’t know the cost or restrictions.
VIEW FROM HOMES:
Awesome in 2023 and 2024! Full Lake! The views from the homes will be great this year with full lake. Retreat 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, and 11 are all lakefront and Retreat 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, & 15 are lakeview. Retreat 6 and 12 have a partial lakeview through the trees. R14 has a beautiful view of their grounds and the mountains. Fortunately, the Lake is very full! Currently we have awesome views of the lake. Be careful as many other vacation homes in the area claim to be lakefront, but you can not be able to see any water depending on lake level. Please scroll down to see hundreds of photos at current full lake level and other levels.
WALK TO LAKE:
50 to 100 feet currently from the 5 lakefront homes. Extra 100-200 yards for Retreat 5, 7, and 9. About 150 yards for Retreat 15, 300 yards for Retreat 6 and 400 yards for Retreat 12. These distances will decrease as the water level continues to rise through May. Lake is down 25 feet from the top currently (Feb 19, 2024).
SWIMMING AT LAKE NEAR HOMES:
You can swim in the lake below R1-R5, R10, and at the end of the street for R9. There is a trail from all of these homes but use at your own risk. As always do not leave children alone and make sure they are wearing a life vest anywhere near the water even if they are not going in. R7 is a short walk across the street to the lake but there is no trail/way to water without walking ~100 yards toward the market on Lakeshore or about 100 yards down the county Sugarloaf boat ramp road across the street. R6 walk is a 300 yards to lake swimming. R11 is Lake and Riverfront with excellent wide path to water. R12 is about 400 yards, R13 about 150 yards. R14 is 1/2 mile to lake.
FLOATING ISLAND:
We have removed the floating island for the season. We will bring it back in May 2024. Kayaks available year around at several homes.
TRIALS:
Many of the trails we created for the Daisy Lane Homes (R1-5, 9, 10) may once again be under water in May due to the full lake. We will try to repair as the lake drops but you might find the last part before the water not yet repaired. There are trails to the water and to the marina. The trail to the marina passes by Retreat 1 and 2. More work to follow. Use at own risk and be carful with children and elderly. Always wear good shoes as rocks are sharp and watch for snakes.
