Text on card: The Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake at Lakehea
Escamilla grew up near Shasta Lake. She wrote that in reality the water level of the lake is usually much lower than pictured.
Shasta Dam was constructed between 1935 and 1945, across the Sacramento River and the man-made Shasta Lake was created and formed in 1984 as a result thereof. Its within an easy drive of San Francisco, Sacramento and Portland for a weekend getaway or vacation. The most popular activity is boating but visitors can also indulge in water-skiing, fishing, tour the dam itself or the caverns up the mountains.
