If your looking for a different trip this year, check out the houseboat rentals on Lake Shasta in Northern California. Our friends at Houseboats in California have a wide variety of selections to choose from at the Jones Valley, Sugarloaf, and Lakeview Resorts. From 10 passengers up to 22 passengers, there is a boat for you. You can't beat the fishing in Northern California (the bass and trout action has been en fuego this year according to fishing reports). Visit Houseboats in California for more information about the trips and boats available. I am sure we will check them out next time we hit Gold Rush country.
