The Lake Shasta Caverns are a network of caves located near the McCloud arm of Shasta Lake in California. It was formerly named Chalk Cave and Baird Cave, named after Spencer Fullerton Baird. The caverns are dated at least 200 million years, and were formed by flowing water.

Machine is on back patio of the gift shop but was not working on August 15, 2021 Shasta Dam (called Kennett Dam before its construction) is a concrete arch-gravity dam across the Sacramento River in the northern part of the U.S. state of California, at the North end of the Sacramento Valley. The dam mainly serves as long-term water storage and flood control in its reservoir, Shasta Lake, and also generates hydroelectric power. At 602 feet high, it is the ninth-tallest dam in the United States and forms the largest reservoir in California.

To reach Lake Shasta Caverns, take exit 695 from I-5 north or south bound (Shasta Caverns Road/ O'Brien Exit). Travel about a mile and a half down a winding road to the east and follow the double yellow line, it will dead end in their parking lot. Although the land is owned by the U.S. Forest Service, a private company runs the Caverns and the two boat launch areas.
