Lake Shasta Water Level Healthy as New Water Year Begins. Trinity Lake? Still Recovering.

Thanks to a stormy winter and spring, Lake Shasta’s water level is almost a third higher than it usually is in mid-October.

The state’s largest reservoir at Shasta Dam, nine miles north of Redding, was 71% full on Monday, according to the California Department of Water Resources. That’s 130% of what the lake usually holds on that date, according to the state.
