Castle Lake is a convenient starting place for a wide range of recreational activities. The lake is usually reached by driving along an approximately 8 mi (13 km) road from Lake Siskiyou.
About 4 mi (6.4 km)[1] from the lake is the site of the historic Ney Springs Resort and scenic Faery Falls.[2] Ney Springs was the site of a late 19th century resort based on the mineral springs there;[3] Ney Springs Resort was one of a number of such popular resorts in Siskiyou County, including Upper Soda Springs, Shasta Springs, and Lower Soda Springs.[4] At nearby Faery Falls, Ney Springs Creek tumbles some 60 ft (18 m) down a granite cliff face, forming a clear pool at the bottom.[5]
