Shasta Dam, which was completed in 1945 on the upper Sacramento River northwest of Redding, is the second-largest reservoir run by the Bureau of Reclamation in the country, behind Grand Coulee Dam in Washington.
Shasta's gold discovery came in the spring of 1849, sparking California's second god rush. Through the summer of 1849, Argonauts from Oregon and the Mother Lode poured into this mushrooming camp. It was a tent city of more than 500 persons by October. But Shasta was to have its problems.
