Little Backbone Creek, Natural Water Slide & Swimming Hole, Shasta Lake CA, 08-2023 - 4k drone video

Shasta Lake is one of our families favorite places to houseboat in Northern California. We have been coming here for more than 50 years.
I used a drone to capture a general view of the hike and slide. The only way to really enjoy this place is to hike the creek back to the slide and swimming hole. I took some video with my phone to partially show the beauty of this place.
We have been trying to keep some of these amazing place’s secret, but the internet has made many of these places easy to find. This natural water slide is about a 20-minute hike from the lake’s shore. It is at the end of Little Backbone Creek. The best way to access the falls is by boat. Little Backbone Creek is located across from Digger Bay. This slide and swimming hole is best enjoyed midweek late summer or early fall after most of the crowds have subsided. During peak periods this place is very popular.

I wonder who would be daring enough to go down that water slide! Very beautiful footage.

Thanks for the comment. I wonder who would do that. It sure looked fun.

That swimming hole looks so fun! If we ever have a chance again, I'd like to go on that hike. 👍

[@TitusDavis]

I am fairly sure we will be going back. It is a very nice place to spend some time.

Thanks for capturing and sharing! What is the best way to enter by land? We are heading there now 🥰

There may be a way by land, but I don't know how to get there any other way other than by boat.
