History’s Mystery: Sugarloaf Creek Structure at Lake Shasta.

Filmed on location July 23, 2021.

History’s Mystery: Sugarloaf Creek Structure at Lake Shasta. Possibly a bunker but it looks home made, and it appears to have some type of lid over it aside from the opening. Its possible it belonged to an old house maybe a cellar (homestead I doubt it) it doesn't resemble a Water Well either. If you look closely you can see some type of metal in the concrete lid near the center. Another thought was that it might have been a home made Cold War era bunker. If we had more photos of this intriguing relic under Shasta Lake then we could generate more opinions too. It doesn't appear to be a box culvert either.... another reliable source says it is a: "sub-quality to the 1917 and 1925 Highway box culverts as seen in my photo albums therefore we assume its an earlier highway structure." He also mentioned that it looks to him that the upstream end has been bull dozed off from the culvert. Located off Lakeshore Drive at Lakehead… Lake Shasta is currently (July 23, 2021) 139.82-Feet below the crest of Shasta Dam.
