@@Tris289 I'm not sure. The water was still too high. I believe that the trestle has started to be exposed again this year.
i'd say if you cant walk in what was once walkable its not a drought or low water. its actually still high water lol . once its completely dried out thats when it will truly be drought.
@@carmichaelmoritz8662 Lake Shasta is caused by a dam creating a reservoir . So that means water is being used faster than it collects
@@imzackson yes i know . maybe certain people will stop being so wasteful once its completely dry. its like a beaver eat all its trees and then starving. fools need to learn the hard way lol .
@@carmichaelmoritz8662 your statements are a bit contradicting but yes
See everyone again in five years when the algorithm brings this back around!
All hail alga! the great algorithm!
Yes please! RUclips, give the people what they want!!!
0p
See you soon if we are still around
Its low enough now u can walk through
A guy who's not scared of the dark, has a spot light and a bluetooth speaker set up with a train horn could really have some fun with other kayakers.
Just sayin'
Poor Wile E Coyote.
😂
hahaha indeed. :))
First thing I thought of when I seen the tunnel 🤣
Have a trolling motor to push you at them too for the full effects
How creepy is that? I can't imagine the size of the catfish living in there.
I was thinking the same thing.
"At that moment, "Jim" found himself wrestling a 300lb catfish."
They have sturgeon as well
Big ol' sturgeon
@@stevendelcarlo3294 fuck there’s gotta be some 10 footers down there
Is this a Florida, there's a chance to meet a burmese python
This was something very different to see! Thanks for sharing a rare look inside this old tunnel.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it and comment.
Thankfully there was no waterfall inside that tunnel leading to the land of the lost.
But that would have made the video better, well if I ever got out.
I feel old..😟. But I liked the comment.📺
@@89426 join the crowd.
That's because they weren't in a blowup raft
Sleestacks!
That's so cool. All that was under water...yikes. I'm honored to see it.
Absolutely love when RUclips algorithm works and suggest great content. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Cheers
I’m originally from paradise city. I lived in Redding, Chico & red bluff as a kid. There were so many swimming holes you wouldn’t believe it. Ahh I miss California, This video makes want to visit my native land once more. I really do miss the mountain ranges in northern Cali. Sure there’s nothing like these Florida sunsets but I often find my self thinking of the mountains. Iv seen & experienced the Carolina ant hills, Er Mountains but there’s nothing like mountains from California/ western U.S.
Take me home yeah yeah
I completely agree. I currently am living in Florida temporarily and I’m constantly taking trips out west because the sights and nature are just unmatched and breathtaking
I knew Shasta has a submerged town at the bottom, but I had no idea a bridge and tunnel was there! Wow!
What a privilege to experience this, awesome!
@Tyler Diesso lmao
@@TheElrocker no they didn't
@@chutta7922 then who?
@@TheElrocker Paid labor who else? This is in Northern California for one, where slavery was never at the numbers in the southern U.S.
Two, slavery was outlawed in the U.S. after 1865 and this tunnel was started in 1884.
And three, before you try and shove Chinese workers into the slavery category....they weren't. Treated unfairly, abysmal work conditions and no thought to their personal safety in general? Hell yes. But not slaves. They were paid just like everyone else that worked the railroad in the late 1800s.
there is a town under lake mead as well, always spooked my out when i was a kid. i refused to go out there with friends.
Came from an Abandoned Rail fanpage on FB, and this is epic!
Have a similar reservoir story in a town relatively near me, Raystown Lake in Pennsylvania. Same deal, whole town was flooded. God knows what all is left behind on the floor.
I never knew that about Raystown. Know they have their own Nessie
I've been to the second tunnel a few times but never been able to find the first one with the bridge in front. it looks dope!
I think the second tunnel is a bit higher than this one yes? For some reason I remember that one being visible first when the lake drops.
You can no longer go through on a kayak, the water is low enough that it is possible to walk through it now.
I had the same thought, jokingly. It's sad, but we may get a new city in California!
Was it completely submerged at one point? I only ask because he said drought in the title
@@brendanoneill6267 yes, it's usually quite a ways under the surface. It's rarely uncovered it's only been out of the water a few times, less than five in the history of the lake. I've lived here since 1954 and this is only the third time that I have seen it out of the water. My dad lived just a few miles from it when the dam was under construction and he said that he could only think of twice he's seen it, but he died in 2012 and it was visible but not completely out of the water in 2014 before that it was visible in 1977.
@@brendanoneill6267 it’s not a drought, it’s an invasion!
I live in Red Bluff myself and to see this lake low is actually very intensive. Lake Oroville is almost completely Bone dry
Just seeing that makes me a little nervous. It's like the instinctual part of my brain is saying "don't go into a flooded cave or you will die"
There's a highway under toledo bend resivoir, they must like flooding towns.
Wow! Wish I could be there to see this in person! Considering that isn't possible now, I thank you for allowing me to share your experience!
That was cool. Good job stabilizing the camera on your kayak.
By the time summer is over you’ll have to hike up to the tunnel to see it.
That is sad i hope the gov starts spending money on our climate can only ignore for so long then the lakes start to dry up....oh yeah and forest fire's excessive amounts,drought man seems we are def behind the ball on climate
@@louiejordan7625 It has nothing to do with the so-called climate change. It's more people using the water and a normal dry time, the weather goes in cycles. Forest fire are at a low if YOU look up the historical record.
@@jimlincoln1283 not to mention it’s man made. There wasn’t even a lake there 100 years ago. In fact there was a town there.
Louie believes everything he sees on teevee.
@@feelnrite and you obviously believe Trump,oh wait he lost,THANK GOD!!!LOL
this was very cool to watch, but at the same time I was “NOPE, NOPE, NOPE “ The whole time
that was pretty cool! a little creepy perhaps, but totally cool!👍
I was worried that the ceiling would drop chunks on me the whole time.
I was thinking only a fool would go into a dark tunnel by him self but no it’s a group of fools 😂😳. It was cool I admit.
@@cowboys4life702 They were all in their 70's and 80's I just stumbled upon their group and when they told me they were heading to the RR tunnel. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I didn't know it existed until that moment.
@@cowboys4life702 I know a fishing spot where you have to go through an active train tunnel. I did it often. I took my wife once. When we exited the other side she was frazzled. Her hair was a mess and she looked like Phyllis Diller.

Who knows what else can be revealed once the water levels reach their lowest peak, Awesome video!.👍
There is a whole town there. I remember someone was arrested for taking a weather vane off a building when it got exposed.
Wow that is awesome!. There is a lot of underwater cities along the coast of Italy golf of Mexico and other places where are the divers go down and video tape these large cathedral like structures showing it was once above water at once, And now that we are seeing climate changes in the water levels across the world it is going to be awesome to see all the new treasures That could be discovered within These underwater cities!.. that would be awesome to stumble across a giant treasure chest full of diamonds and gold from the Roman days!..
@@muddyudders Some ghost will follow em home.
@@muddyudders I was just wondering why did they get arrested, I would think it wouldn’t matter because it would be salvage or something like that.
@@mr.bojangles9840 some states like ny if its a state park you cannot remove any item or historic item off it. You will get nabbed.
That's a straight no for me dawg. This is like some 28 days later looking tunnel shenanigans.
Wow, that was awesome. It’s amazing that most lakes have towns, railroads and even sometimes trains in them. They pulled a train engine out of Lake Almanor near Chester, California. You can see it in a park in Chester now.
I didn't know about this.
I believe that's incorrect, it came out of another lake close by. Butt lake.
They found it when they went to do a repair on the dam, I believe a town down by bishop took it and restored it.
@@pyramidlake7124 Dinky. Found in Butt lake, That is correct, thank you. It sits in a park in Chester. I have heard rumors that there is one still in Lake Almanor, I worked in Susanville for 25 years, there were a lot of people that told me about it and said that they could find it on a fishfinder. It’s somewhere near the dam. noehill.com/plumas/poi_butt_valley_dinky.asp
Thank you for the link to the Dinky, That is the first time I have seen it. I have fished both lakes alot over the years and have heard many stories, I am sure alot of new discoveries will be made during the next year or 2 due to the drought.
I came here for the creepy tunnel but stayed for the relaxing sounds of the water splashing lol
This is pretty interesting footage. I'm glad it showed up in my advised lookers. 🙂
man thats neat, i love seeing things like this it’s very interesting
There is a big metal bridge under water?
Seems dangerous like boats smacking into it or a water skier getting their legs ripped off 🤔
Pretty awesome! With the water so low, I'm sure it's gonna get well traveled this summer.
Nickajack lake on the Tennessee river has a bunch of barely submerged railroad bridges and track also. It's so shallow in places that many folks have wrecked large boats on the track and gotten stuck. TVA placed large rock piles on the bridge to mark it, but at night it's a scary and nerve wracking trip into Hales Bar.
I’ve seen Hales on Ghost Adentures 👻
Thank you for sharing the video with us.
Really cool, my family goes houseboating there every year! We like gooseneck cove and other areas.
Just think about how much time and effort went into building that tunnel. And now it's there just for kayaks.
Like an building in history
It's for the fish.
What a cool piece of history to float through.
Imagine the hundreds of hours of hard dirty work to build that and now it's just a big fish tank !☹️ Cool history thoe .👌😎
Everybody gangsta til they hear “My Precioussss.”
I was curious as to why they left the bridge to be flooded, instead of salvaging or reusing it. Probably too expensive, at the time, and it's probably beyond salvaging, now. Interesting video, though; maybe, if the lake levels keep dropping, they can salvage some of this stuff.
Only a methhead
I was born right by that lake.
Redding is my hometown.
I've never seen this before.
You can only see it in times of drought. It's even lower, atm. You could probably walk the tunnel.
What's really surprising no graffiti, I'm coming though LoL 😂 J.K. great video 👍🦅🇺🇸🗽
Some of the train car graffiti is Tru art but man when people are painting rocks in nature it looks like trash.
@@muddyudders agreed👍
They could have used water colors 🤣🤣
It's been underwater, probably why.
@@2dronetek2 hence my smart alec remark about using watercolors for graffiti
I'm sure some Knucklehead will drive a speed boat through there at 50 mph after seeing this. I was actually waiting for a monster catfish to pop up !
It would be scary in a power boat. I was waiting for a chunk of the ceiling to fall off.
I was also wondering how many monster catfish or sturgeon have swam in that tunnel.
@@fixerupper3042 I'm sure a lot of fish hang out around the trestle structure.
Came here through Reddit. This is awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Well I'll be darned, the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train.
That would be fun to scuba diving when the water is up.
This is scary but at the same time very satisfying to watch 😱
Hello friend💜found you by suggestion and glad it was, found a cool video here with the tunnel and overflowed bridge
Thank you for taking the time to watch it.
With some lights and decorations, that could make a nice tunnel of love
Tunnel of death more like ! Wow so creepy in there and the rusting bridge
Aren't you so in love... smh
This whole scene is really surreal and dream-like, creepy!
Love this video, thanks for posting! Sent me down a rabbit hole studying Kennett. Have you seen it with the recent water level?
I moved out of the area 5 years ago so I haven't been there in years. I got lucky that day and stumbled upon the group headed to the tunnel. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That's a once in a lifetime yak trip
Yes and I just stumbled upon the group of people who were heading out.
Wow I love to kayaking that would be awesome y'all should fish there just see what down where is place
That is the lake below Mt. Shasta California. Same the name as the mountain.
Nice, looks like there was another tunnel as you exited a little further down the shore
There is another tunnel in that direction. The people I was with said it was quite a ways off. There is a town also submerged too.
I really enjoyed your video and reading the comments about the history of how this exists. I think it's really cool
Imagine the fish in that area!
Back in 1995 I went knee boarding and rented a houseboat on Lake Shasta, had so much fun.
I got video of this from the overlook back on 11/1/14 and by that point the lake's level was so low you could see the base of the old bridge and the tunnel itself looked completely exposed with the water failing to reach it. It seems this year is headed for the same thing. It's neat to see a video of someone going through the whole tunnel.
I'm glad you got to do this, by now it's probably fenced off with 24/7 Ranger patrol keeping you 150 away from the Trestle(?)!
I once paddled thru a half-sunken ferryboat in Carteret, NJ. Hurricane Sandy finished off that possibility though shortly after.
You don't know much about Lake Shasta.
@@rickyvillanueva7309 Not living and paddling in NJ I don't, it's the first time I've seen this. And don't be fooled....look up places like Round Valley and Sedge Island, we HAVE Beautiful areas.
@@rickyvillanueva7309 Anyway, I'm being #Facetious given this day and age when Lawn Darts and riding in pickup truck beds....drinking from the garden hose.... are "Criminal" activities. Hey, if you can, DO IT!! Don't lone it, but Do it!!
I know that spot! There were two ferrys at one time, both of them were working in Rhode Island as the Jamestown ferrys many years ago. One was cut up and scrapped and the other as you mentioned was wrecked in the hurricane. Small world
Man, that’s some memories, I lived in lakehead mid to late nineties, moved to florida in 98.
We left Cali in 2017. You sir were way ahead of the curve.
Very interesting. Thanks
Wouldn't it have been amazing to live back then a see a steam locomotive go though there
Yes, there is a whole town submerged there still.
there must be a photo of that somewhere
That was dangerous...what if a train came while you were in the middle of the tunnel..?
I would have emerged looking like the guy on that ancient aliens show.
😂
The Tunnel Is Abandoned No Train’s Run Through It Ever
Trains have to yield to any water traffic.
I always feel when I go thru a tunnel like that, that when I come out the other side the World will be different. So far no changes.
You may be able to walk through it this July 2021. So dry.
Dammit, beat me to it. Walkable indeed
Someone said it's dry enough to walk now in another comment
Great video and adventure, thanks for sharing! 👍 Too bad there's not going to be a 2021 remake, I'd love to see that.
Somebody will be there kayaking and filming it if the level is low enough.
@@muddyudders Time to break out the scuba gear that town sounds like it would a really interesting. dive .
Another month and we’ll be walking where your at....
@@fishfire_2999 agreed!!
@@westleyjohnson1375 I'm 2500 miles from there now.
The Tunnel Raider on the Last Ark!
Looks like a secret lair that no one knows about be cool to find a train in their as well
This could be tragic ..
.
Running into a bridge that just appears one day
Maybe a house foundation or something else exposed due to the drought
Very nice railfan trip!
Thank you.
This my kind of fun it’s dangerous but fun 💯
Pretty cool! 😃
Then this year of 2021 came along. Instant replay. When l lived in Shasta Lake City for 35 years, we used to say a drought came every 7 years. It pretty much rang true
@Jesus Garcia No, big populations need water. And that's exactly why this watershed and others like Oroville were built. Agriculture also uses a huge chunk of the water and when you have winters with next to zero rain/snow then there's no runoff and/or snowmelt to fill the lakes back up. Has nothing to do with politics.
Good thing a train didn't come while you were in there!
Was in suggested wasn't disappointed 👌
Dude! That looks like awesome fun!
You are so brave! Lol I was like nope not gone do it!
Awesomeness........thanks for sharing!!!!!
Thank you for clicking on it and watching!!
Shasta lake is already back down but this time even lower insane. I live in red bluff California.
Thanks for documenting this! Cool vid
I bet a lot of fish go in there on a hot sunny day!
I was thinking there should be lots of fish around the trestle also.
No one asks how a bridge got under water. THATS NOT NORMAL!
@@JonBergacs back in the day there was a town in the area that is now lake shasta. they made a dam and flooded the area. now it’s low enough to see train tunnels.
Badass, i grew up in etna so we spent a fair amount of time at shasta lake.
Do you ever get into Lake Berryessa? I’m told the highest stone arch bridge in the US is down in the bottom and a abandoned town.
I moved out of the state 4 years ago but used to fish Berryessa and ride all the backroads there. In the 90's I remember a bridge had become exposed.
muddyudders How cool. Lake Berryessa was where the Zodiac attacked that couple, killing the girl.
@@samanthab1923 i was living in my VW bus about then sleeping along the back roads around Napa. It was very scary
ed sharp How crazy is that! Glad your safe. Friend of mine had a VW bus back in 1980. No heat in NJ Winters but great for summers at the beach 🌞
@@edsharp4575 I worked with a guy that wrote a book about the zodiac. I think he even named someone he thought was the killer. I can't remember either of their names. After 30 years that small stuff gets lost in the rafters someplace.
Is there a video of some swimming it?
So exciting...like watching water boil
All fun and games until the monster in there eats you.
Monster? Like john podesta or like the muskrat king?
Love to explore in 2002 I went into a train abandoned in a abandoned service rail segment near the miami international airport and what I found was the down payment for the house I call home now a days!!!! $$$$ so is kool and profitable good luck
I've been looking for that this whole time 🤨
That was just cool to see, Thanks!
This looks fun.
This was terrifying
can you fish there ? that tunnel has the big ones in and around it 😎👍👌 very cool video exciting but sad at same time because drought
Really awesome
Between Shasta and oroville there's at least 6-7 small communities, who knows how many miles of paved road and train track and at last count 9 gold mines and one smelter from the mammoth mine. Oh and two small cemetery. All underwater...unless drought conditions of course.
How did all of this get submerged so deep?
@@midwesternairguns5474 where lake Shasta is located was once valleys and canyons. When they finished the dam in 1945 the town of Kennett, the mammoth mine, mill and smelter plus all the miles of road and RR went under the drink.
Pretty incredible
Awesome
How about a revisit later this Summer 2021? I passed through the area a lot in the 80s and 90s, but had no idea this was even there!
I moved out of the state in 2017.
@@muddyudders Don’t blame you there! I moved out in 2000 and have been far happier!
Wow so great
All fun and games till the waters gone,pretty cool to still see!!!
I love shasta when its full but this was cool too
Dam that would b a badass place to kayak..that tunnel is a total freak out...
so kewl! made me think of ALL the folks who built that railroad let alone travelled on it
Yes and lived in the town there.
Very cool!
Pretty badass, it suck that the lake is that low though
Wouldn't be badass then.
Its even more high and dry now. You can likely walk to and through it.
