Sourced by underground springs surrounding Mount Shasta, this section of river flows through a lust riparian corridor.
Mount Shasta typically holds a sizable snowpack that melts throughout the Spring and Summer. (The recent summer, with warmer and drier conditions, the snowpack disappeared fast.) This snow meltwater percolates through its porous volcanic geology emerging as hundreds of springs which feed cold, clear water into the Shasta River, the McCloud River and the Upper Sacramento River.
