Marina Dock Age

With authorization from the USDA Forest Service, Shasta Lake Resorts, LP of Redding Calif., officially announced the initiation of a yearlong Master Development Planning process on Feb. 3. The development plan will permanently consolidate many of its services and facilities located at Lakeview and Sugarloaf marinas to Jones Valley Marina on Shasta Lake. Work on the reconfiguration plan began in 2009.

Consolidating the three marina resorts will allow Jones Valley Resort to increase its luxury houseboat rental operation and potentially expand the existing full-service amenities, according to the company.

In addition to making 85 houseboat rentals available year-round, the merger would create approximately 300 slips for private vessel owners, including concrete fingered houseboat moorage slips and covered moorage slips for small boats.

During the reconfigurations, Lakeview Marina will be non-operational, and Sugarloaf Marina will offer reduced marina services, including private moorage. Jones Valley Marina will be open. Shasta Lake Resorts expects the work to take place over the next year, and the consolidation will be completed by 2011.
