Lake Shasta Marinas

At many of the Lake Shasta Resorts and marinas, you can rent ski boats, fishing boats, canoes or kayaks. A fun way to spend a day on the lake is to rent a patio boat (some of which are simple floating patios with awnings and others are outfitted for cooking and sleeping) starting at less than $200 for whole day.
