Mount Shasta City Park

If one hasn't been to the source of the grand Sacramento River, this the place to see in one's lifetime. It is considered most visited for Zen and Yoga artists and free-spirited adventurers. Its nearby public garden has the best fauna display around Mt. Shasta in the early summer (April to June). Yet, most memorable would be drinking the water at the Big Spring there. The spring spout out from underneath the mountains, and it has natural moss and mineral rocks to filter hard sediments, making it the best tasting water, so bring an empty canteen and fill yourself one of the most refreshing glacier water in all of California. Imagine you're drinking 10,000 year-old water, just released from atop Mt. Shasta.

What an amazing place. The headwaters to the Sacramento River begin here. There are a lot of activities at the park all summer long. Great place to hang out or go for a walk.

Great place to hold events. We have The Best of Mt Shasta Conference & Festival at the park in the summer. The world renowned Headwaters are located in the park.

Beautiful city park that features the headwaters of the Sacramento River. The water in Mount Shasta has got to be the best tasting water in the world! There's lots of lawn space. My main complaint with this park is the noise from trains and from the freeway.

Open space for kids. Source of the Sacramento river. Beautiful stream of water. Nice seats beside the stream
