Natural Features and SceneryNestled along the crystal-clear waters of the McCloud Arm, Greens Creek immerses visitors in a tapestry of serene wilderness. The campground's waterfront location offers breathtaking views across Shasta Lake's emerald waters, while towering pines and native oaks create a natural cathedral overhead.

Geological RegionGreens Creek sits within the magnificent Shasta-Trinity National Forest, specifically along the McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake—California's largest reservoir. This geological wonderland showcases the dramatic landscape of Northern California, where ancient volcanic activity and centuries of erosion have carved out spectacular lake fingers that wind through forested mountains. The McCloud Arm, known for its exceptionally clear waters and dramatic shoreline, represents one of the lake's most scenic branches, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's powerful natural forces that shaped this stunning recreational paradise.
