Best Trails in Lassen National Forest

Fun and informative. Could use a sign or two on the trail back to the parking lot.

Great hike with our 5 year old. Cool facts and info about the volcanic geography along the way. Good, easy hike.

Trail was easy to follow and well groomed with nice views of the creek. The creek was very full and water was flowing quickly downstream. It was a great hike with our two dogs!

Fun spot be sure to bring a flashlight during winter you can see large icicles in the caves but it can be slick. Great place for kids.

Road to trailhead is closed in winter approx. 13 miles from trailhead.

Only saw one other person all weekend. Beautiful lakes, nice camp sites.

This was an awesome little hike!

The trail itself was very short (only about half a mile). It began across the street from Cave Campground, and there are two parking areas at the trailhead. The cave itself is accessible year-round although they block off the closer parking area during winter. There is also a bathroom at the trailhead. We went in December and there was no one else there, which made the experience so much better.

The starting direction for the trail is very well marked. It begins by hiking up a little hill then opening and descending stairs into the cave area. The name subway seemed very appropriate because the cave was much larger than I thought it would be. However, anyone above 6 feet tall might want to be careful in some portions of the cave.

Bring a good flashlight! It is pitch black inside and there are many tripping hazards (in fact they named a portion of the cave after that). Be sure to take the time to read the placards as you go thru (lots of interesting info).

On the other side of the cave, you again go up stairs to the remainder of the trail, which is forest, running parallel to the cave.

All in all this cave was short but so unique! Definitely worth a visit (plus it's pretty badass to say you hiked a lava tube)!

The first lake you encounter is Homer Lake. It plays a role in local Maidu mythology, so the Forest Service blocked the access road according to tribal leaders request. From the road end at Homer the trail continues to Hidden and Deerheart Lakes. National Forest land. Open to camping and backpacking.

This is not a trail, it's a gravel road. this might be great for snowmobiling in the winter, but it's a lame hike in the summer. and you can't even access the lake because once you get about 1/4 mile away, the land turns into private property.

don't waste your time on this trail. Drive the extra few miles to one of many great trails in lassen national park.

The road was blocked off so we could not get to the actual starting point of the hike. We ended up walking the 2 miles in to the starting point but the peak was still a long ways off. However, there was a small lake nearby that had a trail leading to it and was a nice spot for lunch.

Easy hike with a lot of well maintained graphic information along the way. Bring flashlights and warm clothes! Kids loved it.

GPS was off a little. Keep your eye out for cave campground its directly across. Don't forget your flashlight! We went in Feb was amazing to see all the ice and snow:)

Good for kids, BRING a flashlight! Our 3 year old son loves it. Ground is really bumpy so hold hands, it's a great experience!

Short hike through a naturally formed tunnel created by ancient lava flow. We didn't have time to travel to Lava Beds, so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this spot just off the main highway between Lassen Volcanic NP and Mount Shasta. Be sure to bring decent walking shoes, flashlight and light jacket. There are no lights inside except for a handful of informational markers throughout the tunnel, which explain where you are and what you are seeing. Depending upon your pace the hike should only take 30 min - 1 hour

Run this trail every morning from the fire station. Easy incline and declines. Entire trail is paved from the marina to Christie campground.
