Good morning Cavern Fans.

Unfortunately, we are the bearer of bad news. The State of California and Shasta County Health and Human Services have issued a temporary closure notice for our cavern tours ONLY! The agencies have now decided that Lake Shasta Caverns National NATURAL Landmark is an “Indoor Museum.”

Although we vehemently disagree with the order, we will be respectful to our community and re-open in a compliant and proper manner as we did before. (FYI – we will provide our COVID-19 compliant plan upon request).

While the rest of the property and activities are open, we have obeyed the notice while Lake Shasta Caverns managers and owners work with the agencies to re-open the tours.

The closure was NOT enacted by non-compliance of COVID-19 protocols or complaints. In fact our ratings and reviews have increased due to our ability to provide safe environments for our employees and guests.

While the news is discouraging, we are looking at this with positive ideas and creating a host of new experiences for our guests. Extended lake tours, private family functions anywhere on the lake, mountain top bus tours and outdoor activities to ensure our guests retain the excellent educational opportunities that our guides provide.

We will remain the most trained and educated outfitters on the lake…just with new tours!

The managers and owners will continue to work with the agencies in order to correctly classify Lake Shasta Caverns National Natural Landmark correctly as an “Outdoor Museum.”

If you would like voice your opinion, I have included the contact information below to reach the people who are making the decisions. We sincerely apologize to our guests and we completely understand the frustration.

Stay posted as the press release will be coming soon…we want to open our cave tours ASAP!!!
