July Castle Lake Clean-Up To all who love the beauty and serenity of Castle Lake, it’s time to give back some TLC by joining the River Exchange, Shasta Mountain Guides, and the Castle Lake Research Lab in an extensive clean-up of this pristine environment. Over the years human use has increased, and signs of the impact in the form of trash in the lake as well as around its shoreline is increasingly visible. So don your goggles, snorkel and wetsuit, or help us scout the woods. For more information, please call the River Exchange at 235-2012 or Shasta Mtn. Guides at 926-3117.
