Recreation


Castle Lake is a convenient starting place for a wide range of recreational activities. The lake is usually reached by driving along an approximately 8 mi road from Lake Siskiyou.

About 4 mi from the lake is the site of the historic Ney Springs Resort and scenic Faery Falls. Ney Springs was the site of a late 19th century resort based on the mineral springs there; Ney Springs Resort was one of a number of such popular resorts in Siskiyou County, including Upper Soda Springs, Shasta Springs, and Lower Soda Springs. At nearby Faery Falls, Ney Springs Creek tumbles some 60 ft down a granite cliff face, forming a clear pool at the bottom.
