Driving on the bridge that goes over Lake Shasta. 0.5 miles before the Waterfall
California, United States
Google Maps will take you to the exact location. From Redding, take Exit 680 off Interstate 5 onto CA Highway 299. Drive 30.5 miles and then turn left onto Fenders Ferry Road, which is also known as Forest Road 34N17 and Road 27. You will need 4WD as the last 6 miles to the falls is an unpaved road. The road is a typical forest service road with lots of turns, narrow at times, along a canyon.
