Anderson, CA

- Home to Anderson River Park -

Community: Anderson, CA is home to just slightly less than 10,000 people. In addition to the small town feel of the City of Anderson there is a larger area of homes on acreage in country settings.

The 440 acre Anderson River Park is a highlight of the community with the meandering Sacramento River at its side. This park is a big draw for Anderson with the athletic fields, picnic areas, fishing access and play structures. The park also hosts many events held throughout the warmer months.

The Shasta County Fairgrounds are also located in Anderson, host of a robust annual fair with the classic rides and active carnival atmosphere. A large contingent from the local Future Farmers of America clubs in association with the local schools are present. Shasta Speedway is also on the grounds being used for music events and occasional car races.

Location: 10 minutes south of Redding and just north of Cottonwood in "Upstate California" or "Far Northern California" if you prefer.
