E-Bikes Unknown

The Lake Siskiyou Trail is a nice, scenic trail around Lake Siskiyou near the city of Mount Shasta. The trail surface is hardpack with seasonal duff covering. The trail features spectacular views of Lake Siskiyou, the dam, and surrounding mountains. The Wagon Creek Bridge is a really nice suspension bridge. The trail is connects to the campground as well.

The trail is open year round but will be covered by snow in most winters. That said, it can be really fun on a fat bike with the right kind of snow. Also, the bridges over the Sacramento River inlet are taken down in the fall and put back up in the spring. The trail is used by hikers, dog walkers, runners, and horses, so be careful.
