Question 1

What are the major attractions in Lakehead?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Lakehead is all locked in but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, let us give you a helping hand.

Consider extending your vacation by an extra day or two. Once you've explored downtown, Lake Shasta Caverns and Whiskeytown Shasta Trinity National Recreation Area are a few other nearby attractions that are worth a look.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Lakehead?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking for a day-trip destination, we've got some ideas. Situated 25 miles away, Redding is worth getting in the car for. Bethel Church, Win-River Casino and Sundial Bridge alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Mount Shasta, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it's Mount Shasta Ski Park. (But we'd also highly recommend Mount Shasta City Park and Lake Siskiyou.)

Should I get a luxury rental car in Lakehead?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's a great range of both economy and luxury vehicles to rent in Lakehead. What you end up going for is largely dependent on how much you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles offer unparalleled comfort and class. If you want to treat yourself, why not go for an elite SUV, or perhaps a cushy mid-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you're just after something to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, we can help you out with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
