The most prominent feature of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is Whiskeytown Lake’s beautiful sapphire-blue waters, surrounded by mountain peaks. The 39,000 acres surrounding the lake hold four waterfalls, pristine mountain creeks, and 70 miles of trails. Dogs are allowed on the trails; on roads and sidewalks; in all campgrounds and in group campsites; and in the water at non-swim beaches which are beaches without sand. Dogs are not allowed on the designated sandy swimming beaches or inside any buildings. The following structures and/or areas are closed to pets: Whiskeytown Visitor Center; Whiskeytown Headquarters Building; Camden House; Brandy Creek Beach; Oak Bottom Beach; East Beach; and in the Whiskey Creek Group Picnic Area Swim Beach.
