SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. - Shasta County Sheriff Michael Johnson lifted the closure of the Sacramento River to recreational boaters. This comes as water releases into the river decrease. The closure had been in effect since February 7, to avoid unnecessary risk to recreational river users/boaters and rescue personnel. Although the water releases have decreased, they are still higher than normal, and you are urged to remain cautious when on or near the river and tributaries.
