Welcome to Dunsmuir!
Welcome to our beautiful little town, nestled in the Siskiyou Mountains on the Sacramento River! We host world-renowned fishing spots, beautiful hiking trails, excellent restaurants, and many comfortable, modern lodging options.
Our historic downtown is a nationally designated historic district, carefully preserved for all ages to enjoy. We also have a train depot, where Amtrak picks up and delivers passengers.
North Dunsmuir hosts the beautiful Botanical Gardens City Park on the river. Many weddings anniversaries, concerts, and special events occur here. Next to the City Park is our ballpark where the famous Babe Ruth once played. And south of the ballpark is our Olympic-sized swimming pool, available to all.
Local swimming holes also abound and are easily accessed. Dunsmuir is home to Hedge Creek Falls and the famous Mossbrae Falls, with Mount Shasta to the north and Castle Crags State Park to the south. Make Dunsmuir your destination for fun, entertainment, romance, and relaxation.
