Special Use Permits

Special events can be held at Whiskeytown as long as they are appropriate and have a minimal impact on other visitors. Examples include weddings, running and biking races, horse rides and commercial filming.

A Special Use Permit is required for these events and activities. An application form must be filled out and submitted along with a $50 non-refundable processing fee. Additional "cost recovery" fees may apply in cases where the park needs to provide extra services or staff to support the event or activity.

For more information contact Jim Richardson at 530-242-3413.
Fog envelopes San Francisco Bay, leaving only the top of the Golden Gate Bridge visible.  

Did You Know?
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Many attribute this phrase to Mark Twain, however the origin is unknown. It is a good thing to remember when visiting San Francisco Maritime during the summer. Don’t forget a coat, as the summer fog keeps temperatures in the city cool.
