Recreation Region: Shasta Lake Area

Clikapudi Trail

The main loop, beginning and ending at the boat ramp parking lot, is 7.5 miles long. The part of the trail from the campground to Forest Road 33N27 is approximately 0.5 mile. If you choose to do the entire trail from the trailhead near Jones Valley Campground and back, the distance is approximately 8 miles. The advanced mountain bike loop portion is approximately 1 mile. 

Please use trail courtesy. Walkers and runners give way to mountain bikers. Mountain bikers give way to horseback riders. When waiting for a horseback rider to pass, stand on the downhill side of the trail, this is less likely to spook the horse.

Trails at Shasta Lake are open all year, but it is best to hike them in the spring and fall. Tips/ Suggestions: If you choose to hike these trails in the summer, be sure and take plenty of water. Summer heat is quite severe in this area and there is no drinking water available. Pets are allowed in the recreation areas unless posted. They must be on a leash when in a developed site.
