I always call Anderson and the Eastern part "Big Sky". It rises in elevation and provides access the the big blue sky of Anderson, CA! I don't know why the sky seems so "blue" out there....but it does. Anderson is like stepping back in time. Horse country with a vengence, mini-ranches and working ranches make up this small town feel. With some space and room to roam, Anderson is many people's first choice in lifestyle and the place they want to be.
The 440 acre Anderson River Park is the center and the City's premier park with it's walking trails along the Sacramento River. It also includes picnic, tennis courts, soccer and softball fields, boat launching facilities and fishing ponds.
The park's amphitheater provides the gathering place for the Mosquito Serenade and features live concerts Wednesday evenings from June to late August. The park also features "Paisano Days" and "Return of the Salmon Festival".
The Shasta District Fairgrounds are also located in Andersona and hold many events. The County Fair is held in June and "Forth of July Fireworks" along with races at Shasta Speedway.
The river boat.....specically designed for river use.
Bank of the Sacramento River in Anderson Park. Wild life abounds with Great Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Great Heron and Bald Eagles. We saw two Bald Eagles on this day.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! This is IT! This is what it's all about here in Shasta County....the "River" and the Mountains. This is a view looking Northwest at the Western Mountain Range taken on Easter Sunday 3/08.
