Healthy Shasta Walks

Healthy Shasta aims to encourage people to walk and bike more for both transportation and recreation while working behind the scenes to support the creation of environments that make bicycling and walking easier, safer and more convenient for transportation and recreation.

Community Walking Resources

Check out this new series of Downtown Redding Walking Maps. The four different maps provide themed points of interest to explore in Downtown. This project was in collaboration with Healthy Shasta, Viva Downtown Redding, the City of Redding, and Visit Redding and was funded by the Upstate California Creative Corps in 2023-2024. Tyler Brown Cifu Shuster created the maps. Walks will continue Thursdays from May 30 through June 27, 2024 at 6:30 pm from Downtown Redding. Follow us for details @HealthyShasta or Healthy Shasta.
