About McCloud

McCloud is a historic mill town, located at the foot of Mt. Shasta, a majestic, snow-capped double mountain peak.  The area is a mecca for skiing, hiking, kayaking, mountaineering, canoing, square dancing and many other activities - including just contemplating the beautiful scenery. McCloud was a company owned lumber mill town, built between 1880 and 1920.  The town's buildings were sold to individual owners beginning in the late 1960s, who have restored and maintained the historic character of their town.

McCloud is home to the Victorian McCloud Hotel (www.mccloudhotel.com), the Shasta Sunset Dinner Train (www.shastasunset.com), several bed and breakfast inns, and the McCloud River Mercantile Building.  The Mercantile Building was the company store for the mills.   Now restored, the Mercantile is home to the McCloud Book Gallery.  Local residents are also trying to preserve the   old McCloud Mill, one of the last surviving historic lumber mills in California.
