The Historic Camden House Property.

Venture with Robert Frazier (host of California Unearthed) and I as we explore together the historic Camden House property of the Tower House Historic District of Shasta County, California. From Camden's Toll Bridge to the Camden House, to the Tennant House property, to Camden's Sawmill, to the historic El Dorado mine, and the Camden Water Ditch, as well as Levi Tower's Gravesite, and more as we make our round-trip around this historic National Park Service property from our day there on May 3, 2025, as I relate the history of the area in this area.

The Crystal Creek Water Ditch Trail of the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area -An 1850s Historic Water Ditch-

This video was filmed on location on June 11, 2022.

It was Shasta County pioneer Charles Camden who named Crystal Creek after its crystal-clear flowing water in its channel. It was also Camden who built this present-day historic water ditch along its channel with his paid laborers between 1854 and 1856. However, what was the reason behind it? Find out more in my newest video about this amazing water ditch system and trail here, and if you have time be sure to visit this place with your friends and family at the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. You will need a park pass to enter. The trail is an easy hike with incredible views of Crystal Creek along the way, and it's a one-way only 0.8-mile hike. Bring water, food and snacks with you to enjoy this trail. Enjoy, the video.
