High Water at Lake Shasta has Tourism Operators Optimistic

Lake Shasta is nearly full, gasoline prices are under $3 a gallon, significantly down from a year ago, and the overall economy continues to improve.

So there was a good bit of optimism in the room at Thursday’s Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association Tourism Summit in Redding. The event at the Red Lion Hotel drew tourism officials from across the state as they gear up for what they hope is a busier 2016 summer season.
