About renting in Lakehead

Lakehead sits off Interstate 5 where the Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake reaches its north end; Antlers Resort and Marina and Sugarloaf Resort both operate here. The owner confirms availability and the exact pickup location before your trip. DooZed does not collect payment when you send an inquiry.

The adjacent Antlers Public Boat Ramp runs $18 a vehicle for the day and offers four launch lanes until lake drawdown passes 75 feet, after which the Forest Service points boaters to the Sugarloaf Public Boat Ramp instead. Sugarloaf's ramp is listed at $17 per day; confirm the current fee. The ramp closes once drawdown passes 160 feet. Antlers Resort and Marina lists a 120 boat covered slip or tie-up capacity, per the state boating facility record. Sugarloaf Resort's state boating facility record shows 200 trailer parking spaces and a 40 boat covered slip or tie-up capacity. Holiday Harbor Resort and Marina operates nearby at O'Brien; its state facility record does not list parking or slip counts.

Rules and boater card

• California boater card: Unless an exemption applies, every operator of a motorized vessel must carry a California boater card; the requirement now applies to all ages. California's boater card law exempts a person operating a rental vessel from the card requirement. DooZed requires every renter to hold a recognized boater safety certificate regardless of any state card exemption. Source
