Thanks to the damming of the Pit River, also Hat Creek, shortly before its confluence into the Pit River, is dammed a little above its natural water level.

The Hat Creek Park offers rare ADA access to fishing on Hat Creek. A recently installed concrete pad extends almost to the water's edge.

Renowned for its quality fly fishing, Hat Creek Park offers easy access to some of the most exciting fishing around, right off Highway 299 in Shasta County. This local favorite fishing spot is a County Park and includes ADA accessible fishing, toilet facilities, picnic areas and a beautiful setting right on Hat Creek.

You can fish from the banks right in the park, or follow some fishermen trails to get to a slightly more secluded spot on Hat Creek. Several picnic tables and campfire rings are scattered across the grounds and make for good spots for a roadside picnic. A couple of the picnic areas are ADA accessible, while a few others are tucked away in the trees and offer more private settings.

Hat Creek was the first Wild Trout Area in California's Wild Trout Program. Traditionally known as one of the premier spring creek fisheries in the state, Hat Creek suffered from invasive species and fishing pressure in the 1950s. Thanks to ongoing restoration efforts since the 60's and 70's and careful management and public education, Hat Creek is once again one of California's best fly fishing rivers.

Dogs must remain on a leash.

Regulations for Fishing: Catch and Release, barb less hooks only. Two trout limit per day.
