Lake Siskiyou is a reservoir formed by Box Canyon Dam [1] on the Sacramento River, in far northern California, near the town of Mt. Shasta, California.[2] It is the site of local recreation, as well as being used for watershed protection and flood control.
Wagon Creek Bridge
[edit ]In late 2010 a walking bridge over the wagon creek inlet was completed, finishing a trail that wraps around the entire lake. The cost of the bridge was 2ドル.8 million; funding was obtained from the McConnell Foundation, The State of California and federal stimulus funds. The McConnell Foundation also provided funds for the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California.[3]
