Description
A bit more than a moderate hiking mile above Castle Lake is this jewel in the Shasta-Trinity forest. Absolutely magnificent.
So ... relax. Enlarge the image wide open . Allow your imagination to steer for a bit.
An early July summer morning. Your sight-line is not restricted to this 9x7 digital image, but your vision is vivid and close to 90 deg to the horizon both left and right, the sky above...clear. You feel a slight breeze on your face, and you can feel the warmth of the sun on your back.
The air ... is sweet and clean and distinctive. And just relax a bit , let go ... breathe and repeat .
Access road: This lake is located in Section 24, T39N, R5W. Drive to Castle Lake, about 11 miles from the town of Mt. Shasta, on the paved Castle Lake Road, which is usually open on Memorial Day. From Castle Lake, go about a mile south, then there is a faint trail southwest to Heart Lake.
Camping: 1 to 3 poor sites. The lake has steep shores.
Surface acres: 0.75 acres and 11' deep.
Comments: Fair fishing for small Brook Trout. The lake sometimes freezes, which can kill the fish. There is a very small pond on the west side of this lake. The lake is on National Forest land in the Castle Crags Wilderness.
This makes a gorgeous duvet cover !
