O'Brien

The landscape around O'Brien is defined by forested foothills bordering Shasta Lake, which have shaped both the dispersed settlement pattern and the local recreation economy. This small Shasta County community lies in Northern California near the long arms of the state’s largest reservoir, fed by the Sacramento, McCloud and Pit river systems. Completed in 1945, Shasta Dam is a major work of the federal Central Valley Project and created Lake Shasta, a focal point for boating, fishing and houseboat trips. The surrounding Shasta–Trinity National Forest gives the area a setting of conifer woodland, coves and winding roads rather than a conventional town centre.
