Rode this in September or October 2023. It was a week right before the big running race that happens on the trail every fall. We came up from Sacramento and stayed in Susanville two nights. The first day we rode out from Susanville depot all the way to where there’s a parking area where the highway comes across. Turned around there and went back. Nice trail. The following day we went over towards Lassen and rode around that side of the trail and also did a little exploring by car. The trail over near where the fire occurred was a little beat up and muddy.. etc. because of course all the firefighters were in there fighting the fire and etc. so not a problem but all in all it was a great fun time I would go back and do it again.
We discovered this trail in summer and had a great evening ride on the summer solstice. Came back for the fall colors. Started in Westwood and rode 25 miles down to susanville. The Lassen rural shuttle makes this sooo easy. Thank you Lassen county for the shuttle ! Awesome river canyon ride!
We rode our bikes on this trail from the far west end parking area for 1.5 miles, before giving up and turning around because of the falling hazard. The gravel is so thick in the center of the path, that it causes your tires to get hung up and you are unable to steer. There was a deep hole in the path, probably caused by an animal. You cant see it until you are on top of it. There are pine trees and bushes growing over the trail that scratch you and force you into the thick gravel. The trail needs major maintenance to make it safe for bike riding. almost fell a couple Itwas so slow going
Nice fun little ride good if you wanna practice on your bike before hitting other trails! I found a turtle here once and returned it to the water
We camped at Merrill campground in the middle of this trail length. Great sites with good room between sites, even some with power hookups. Ride north to end of trail is easy and well maintained. The south ride to boat marina is more bumpy but worth the trip. Great views along the way!
Trail is in awful shape. Road it yesterday 8/1/23. There are lots and lots of trees across the trail, big ones and small ones. Had hoped to ride it to Harris Spring Rd from Harlow Flats. Only made it ten miles. Could be a wonderful trail if maintained. May have to do some of my own maintenance. Live close by.
After riding in the Tour de Palm Springs in Feb. 2023, a friend and I stopped and rode the Sacramento River Trail and the Sacramento River Rail Trail on our way back to Seattle.
It started as a quite chilly morning as we rode the trail from Redding in mostly shade. Once out of the city, we were getting more sunshine and warming up. Along the way we saw vultures and eagles in the trees.
After climbing Heart Attack Hill, the trail winded up and down and it felt like I was mountain biking, but on pavement. I loved it!!
We connected to the rail trail and rode to Shasta Dam before heading back to Redding.
If you find yourself in the Redding area, I highly recommend you ride these trails.
I visited this trail in January of 2022 and did a video of the Sacramento River Trail - https://youtu.be/N-AZjCQKneE and a short of the Sundial Bridge: https://youtube.com/shorts/3Sv4SYw4d10?feature=share
I really enjoyed the trail, fun location!
This is a great trail even with the aftermath of the 2021 Hog Fire. We rode the entire trail from the Susanville Depot to Mason Station and back with our ebikes. First 6+ miles to Devil's Corral was amazing with the Susan river running full and green vegetation everywhere. After Devil's Corral the fire beast has devastated the forest until just before Goumaz Campround. After that beautiful forest and river surroundings until the fire beast reared it's ugly head the last couple of miles before Mason Station. If you are looking for a well groomed gravel surface, this ride is not for you. But if you don't mind rough areas, downed trees and an occasional boulder on the trail, you will enjoy the Beauty and the Beast.
Too bad there isn’t a lower score. We bike a lot, mountain, gravel and road. This surface is unrideable. There is soft cinder - varies in the middle from 4-8” and is not compacted. The bushes are grown over the sides scratching your arms and legs. We rode 12 miles and rode back along the hwy on mountain bikes.
It is a great concept and wonderful that the trail is started and reserved for the future. It’s is not usable in this condition.
There were lots of butterflies, flowers, beautiful trees, some views of Shasta and I wanted to love this trail.
The cinder needs to be removed and someone with bike experience and someone with trail building experience needs to be on the committee in the future. It’s probably great for snowmobiles and ATV’s.
I combined this trail with the Sacramento River Trail, starting at Turtle Bay. I didn't know what to expect and was thrilled after getting to the top of Heart Rate Hill and seeing more hills, dips and curves! I felt like I was mountain biking only on a paved trail. The scenery was gorgeous and we were the only people on the trail until we go back toward Heart Rate Hill.
I highly recommend this trail if you get to be in the Redding area!
