Little Backbone Creek Hike & Water Slide

We spent a week on Lake Shasta and heard about this awesome spot to go hiking. It was called Little Backbone Creek. We almost didn't go hiking up it, but so glad we did. We hiked up first thing in the morning around 9am and by the time we came back down there were already 2 other boats docking and people starting to hike. It fills up fast and we were lucky that no one else was there while we were. If you get the chance I highly recommend making the hike up to the water slide. It was a beautiful hike.
Must haves are life jackets and water shoes.

Do you have to kayak to access it?

Yes, you can kayak or boat over to it. There is no road access.

How long is the hike

[@andreatackett9073]

Michael depends on the lake level. We hiked about a mile up to the falls

Do you need a boat to access the trail?

[@NightNurseMike]

Rue Robles ya

[@NightNurseMike]

Rue Robles snow was weak this year I’m not sure it is even any good

[@andreatackett9073]

Yes you do need a boat to get to the base of the creek. There are no trail markers of any kind.

Can you share with me the address please

[@andreatackett9073]

There isn’t a precise address because it is only accessible by boat. You will need to anchor your boat in the little backbone creek arm of Lake Shasta across from digger bay and hike up the river. goo.gl/maps/dxRDZgtbEEgq4SLT9
