About this marina
Oak Bottom Marina sits on the north shore of Whiskeytown Lake at 12485 Highway 299 West, inside Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, west of Redding.
On the water
Whiskeytown Marinas runs the marina for the National Park Service. The state boating directory lists 200 covered slips, 53 dry storage spaces, about 100 parking spaces for cars with trailers, two boarding floats and boats from 8 to 30 feet. The marina store rents boats, and slips and dry storage are arranged with the operator. There's a fish cleaning station, a swim area and the Oak Bottom campground store.
