Yes plenty of area to park the boat you'll see some other boats probably there as well but keep in mind it is a bit of a hike I would not recommend sandals we were unfortunately unable to make the hike after 15 mins in a our swim wear just a fyi
yes only by boat. We had a small map of Shasta lake and the little arm of area was on the map saying little backbone creek. We had to jump off the boat to swim to area to hike. We recommend water shoes.it took us about 30 minutes to get to water slide. You do have to climb some boulders and swim across small bodies of waters
