The Fall River, Northern California's Cold Water Oasis (2013)

The Fall River is California's largest spring-fed wild trout fishery. Located approximately 50 miles to the east of Mount Shasta, the river generates up to one million acre feet per year of cold, clean, nutrient rich water. The water is used for hydro-power, agriculture, municipal supply, and outdoor recreation. The Fall River Conservancy (FRC) formed in 2009 to address invasive aquatic species, over sedimentation, and water quality issues.
