About This Access Site
Antlers Resort & Marina on Shasta Lake offers a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and other small watercraft. Located on the upper Sacramento River arm of the lake, this ramp provides four launching lanes until the water level drops below 75 feet. At that point, the Sugarloaf Boat Ramp opens to accommodate the lower lake levels.

Shasta Lake is a large, scenic reservoir with over 365 miles of shoreline, perfect for exploring by paddle or small boat. Surrounded by rolling hills and forests, the lake offers a tranquil natural setting. Boaters should be aware of the lake's fluctuating water levels and plan accordingly. The Antlers boat ramp is adjacent to the Antlers Campground, which provides access to amenities like restrooms, showers, and a marina with boat rentals and supplies. Visitors should check current regulations and fees before launching at this site.
