Lake Shasta is at its second lowest level since the dam was constructed in 1945. Boat docks are high and dry. Hydropower generation continues, as do releases for environmental and agricultural needs.
The low water level also exposes interesting historical relics typically hidden beneath the water, such as train tunnels, the old Highway 99 roadbed and car bridges.
