Best Trails in Lassen National Forest

The lake is in private property so you can't get to it.

Beautiful area. I appeared to be the only hiker out in the wilderness. Lots of dead and down across the trail. hopped over most, but had to crawl or navigate around others.

Very short hike takes you through fairly large lava tubes - only took us 10-20 minutes but very cool experience!

I've seen the same Bald Eagle in the same spot two years in a row. This is a nice ride along the lake.

I couldn't find an official trail head or any sort of trail marker for this trail. The route shown on the map leads you down Philbrook Road which becomes private property with accompanying signage. This listing was a dead end.

Great trail! Will definitely bring the family back for some hiking and swimming later in the summer as the water is ice cold right now. Some other reviewers wrote that the trail wasn't passable due to downed trees. It is important to ensure you are on the right trail. The trailhead is actually across the highway from the parking area, next to the bridge. It is marked, but you can't easily see the sign from the parking area. If you take the trail next to the blank wooden sign in the parking area, it is indeed impassable with downed trees. Happy hiking!

This is a nice trail! Although it is longer than the 4.9 miles that is said above.

This trail can go to crescent mills if you want to extend your run. I went 3 miles there and 3 back. It was an easy paved road with some rolling hills and great views.

Thia is a trail great for a weekend hike also a great hike for beginners, nice view of Walker lake or Mountain Meadows Reservoir, (whatever you wish to call it) by Westwood

Nice short stop to cool off and stretch your legs.

Easy, some nice views of Mt Lassen.

A very easy, relaxing trail that takes you along the west shore of Lake Almanor. We only walked on a short section of the trail, close to the Dyer Beach day access area. There's a nice parking lot there restroom. A big bonus was the public shoreline to hang out at and go swimming. It was a Saturday afternoon on a hot day, and there were only a few groups in the area.

Bring a good light! An awesome trail with some rough footing. Amazing lava cave. Everyone should go to experience this geologic trip.

Nice trail with some elevation. Interesting interpretive trail about local geology. Map is online but maybe available at the trail head.
