Silverthorn Marina

Silverthorn Resort began on August 1, 1853 with George Silverthorn who ran one of the first ferries in Northern California on the Pit River. George married Lucy, a Wintu Indian, and they had five children together. The Silverthorn name lives on with their descendants in the local area.Since the time of George and Lucy Silverthorn, the area has undergone tremendous growth and change. Redding became the hub of the north state. Later, when the Shasta Dam was built, the resulting Shasta Lake became a major tourist attraction, drawing over 1 million visitors annually.
