What to expect on Lakeside singletrack – Lake Siskiyou loop from Mount Shasta
This route offers a journey through varied landscapes, starting with connections from Mount Shasta that can involve paved roads, gravel, and dirt trails. Once you reach the Lake Siskiyou Loop, you'll encounter a mix of dirt hardpack, pine needles, and gravel, with some short paved sections. The scenery is a constant highlight, with expansive views of Lake Siskiyou often reflecting Mount Shasta and Mount Eddy. While much of the main loop is relatively easy, venturing onto the shoreline singletrack sections can present narrow, rocky, and occasionally steep challenges, making it a good fit for touring cyclists comfortable with varied terrain and some technical stretches.
Planning your visit
A key feature of the Lake Siskiyou Loop is the presence of two pontoon bridges at the north end, which are crucial for completing the full circumnavigation of the lake. These bridges are typically in place from mid-May to mid-November, so plan your ride accordingly if you aim to do the full loop. The trail passes through the Lake Siskiyou Resort and Campground and near the marina, offering potential stops for amenities. Wider tires, generally 2.2 inches or above, are recommended to comfortably handle the diverse surfaces you'll encounter, especially if exploring the singletrack options.
