Live data updated
Antlers is the Lakehead ramp, right off I-5 exit 702. It has four lanes, flush toilets and one of the few drinking-water taps at a Shasta ramp, but it only works while the lake is above 992 ft. Below that it closes and launching moves to the Sugarloaf low-water ramp nearby. Antlers campground is next to it.
