Sights in Dunsmuir

1. Mossbrae Falls

   • Dunsmuir, USA
   • Sights › Waterfall

   There's a small waterfall up a forest path from the riverside gardens, but Mossbrae Falls is the larger and more spectacular of Dunsmuir's waterfalls. To get there from Dunsmuir Ave, turn west onto Scarlett Way, passing under an archway marked 'Shasta Retreat.' Park by the railroad tracks (there's no sign), then walk north along the right-hand side of the tracks for a half-hour until you reach a railroad bridge built in 1901.

   Backtracking slightly from the bridge, you'll find a little path going down through the trees to the river and the falls. Be extremely careful of trains as you walk by the tracks - the river's sound can make it impossible to hear them coming.

2. California Theater

   • Dunsmuir, USA
   • Sights › Entertainment

   On Dunsmuir Ave at downtown's north end stands what was once, and soon-to-be-again, the town's pride: the California Theater. In a grassroots community effort this long-defunct, once-glamorous venue is being carefully restored to its original glory. First opened in 1926, the theater hosted stars like Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, and the Marx Brothers. Today the lineup features musical performances, theater groups and comedians, as well as films.
