Mosspray Falls is one of God's finest creations. Not a bad walk along the tracks but watch out for the trains. The walk is in natures finest settings. This is NOT a theme park setting. Walking along the tracks you need to take your time and enjoy the river watching the trout swim around. Common Sense is all you need to walk the two miles or whatever it is. Well worth the time. Once you reach the falls well just enjoy God's splendor.

This is my all-time favorite waterfall. It is more like a wall of gushing green ledges into a pristine river. Large flat rocks abound which are perfect for the awe-inspiring view. A place you want to meditate in. You park at the trail head and walk along the railroad track for about one mile (hopefully they still allow you to do this, I know of no other way to get there!). You can not believe what you see when you walk off the gravel and down to the river......totally unexpected, and magical. My favorite.

My friend who is also a novice photographer took me here over July fourth weekend. It was so gorgeous here we spent two hours relaxing along the river and got some great shots. Please allow an hour in and an hour back to and from. You will be walking down or along the rail road tracks. We didn't experience any trains comming or going but be careful and aware of your surroundings.. Pack snacks and be there early. There are no public restrooms. We got there at eight am. I LOVED it here! Amazing place!

This is not an easy walk along the railroad tracks unless you are a skilled hiker. Don't take children and beware of the trains. There is NO parking in the Shasta Retreat. You will be ticketed and even (possibly) towed for illegal parking and Union Pacific is patrolling and issuing tickets for being on the tracks.

This waterfall is very unusual it seems to be mostly a spring seeping out of a cliff wall just above a clear river. Very wide but not that high, the waterflow is modest but invariant across the year. There are lots of green plants along the cliff wall being constantly watered by the falls. Photos seem not to do it justice. The water is probably too cold for swimming but it is so clean and clear. Would be a great spot for a picnic.To get there:Exit I-5 at Dunsmuir Avenue (the most northern of the Dunsmuir exits. Proceed to Dunsmuir Ave and turn left (south). Proceed to Scarlett Ave and turn right (almost a u-turn) and drive under the Shasta Retreat Arch. Proceed until you pass the river on a small one lane bridge. The RR tracks are here. Go back to Dunsmuir Ave and park somewhere. Walk back to the RR tracks and follow the tracks right (upstream, North). Walk along the tracks (maybe 1.5 miles) until you reach a RR bridge, there are several paths leading down to the river just before the bridge. Follow one and you will arrive at the falls. Watch out for trains coming from both directions. Don't park by the tracks or anywhere in Shasta Retreat, there is a high probability of a ticket. Message me if you want the GPS coordinates.

You will wonder what I must have been smoking while walking down the side of the train tracks to get here. But once you reach the train trestle and take the path off to the right down to the river....It really is a magical place. Check it out!!!

Be careful walking along side the tracks. Not difficult but you need to pay attention. The waterfall is really pretty and the greenery surrounding it makes for great photos. Burney Falls is close, it is easier to get to, taller and safer. Both are worth your time to visit.

There is no parking in the Shasta Retreat area and there are no trespassing signs everywhere on the tracks. The railroad along with the sheriff's department will ticket you. It is beautiful but until the city of Dunsmuir puts a trail through (which they are working on) then there is no way to get there. If you would like to make a donation to the city of Dunsmuir to help out with the cost of a trail to Mossbrae Falls then please do so. Until then you will have to wait.

The walk in is almost exactly one mile. It is on a railroad bed, not easy for older people and there are some areas where if you don't hear a train coming you could get caught in a dangerous situation. I work on the railroad and have been in the area for 17 years. If you are smart and cautious, no problem. We have on occasion hit people with the train-the stupid ones but the speed is 20 MPH so getting out of the way should be easy. The walk is beautiful and the falls and steel bridge across the river are outstanding! Just be careful. Great photo ops, cold, clean mountain water and the fishing is the best in the north state. Don't let the trains scare you, just be smart and don't walk on the tracks!

We went to see the falls when you could still walk along the railroad tracks to get to them. It is very unfortunate that you cannot do that now without the fear of getting a trespassing ticket. They need to make a safe trail to be able to hike to these falls.
