Siskiyou County, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

The clearest county-level park curfew in unincorporated Siskiyou County applies to Lake Shastina, a recreation area managed by the Siskiyou County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Public Works / General Services). According to the District, the Board of Supervisors passed an amended ordinance, Ordinance 17-10, effective August 1, 2017, that now prohibits all overnight camping at Lake Shastina; the campground is limited to Day Use ONLY. This is a meaningful change from prior practice, when overnight camping had been allowed, and it functions as a de facto overnight curfew: visitors may use the area during the day but may not stay overnight. Day-use-only management like this is typically tied to posted hours and is enforced by county staff and the Sheriff's Office. Beyond Lake Shastina, day-use hours, closures, and any related rules at specific county-managed recreation sites are set administratively and posted on site, so visitors should check posted signage and the District's information before a trip. Because much of Siskiyou County's outdoor recreation occurs on federal land (Klamath National Forest, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Lava Beds National Monument), separate federal agency rules and hours apply there rather than the county ordinance. For current Lake Shastina rules, the District lists Adam Filippone, Flood Control District Director, at 530-842-8220.
