The seasonal bridges just went up and the Lake Siskiyou Loop is a perfect trail for these hot temperatures. The 2025 Mount Shasta Trail Challenge once again features one of our favorite trails and it’s easy to see why. Stunning views of Lake Siskiyou and Mount Shasta. The iconic Wagon Creek bridge and Box Canyon Dam. Nearly a perfect 10k, 6.5 miles, around the lake. Several access points with plenty of parking. Dogs on leash are ok. Plenty of restrooms. Kids love this trail and can even pick up an ice cream at the Lake Siskiyou Resort. The trail is fairly flat and has many paved sections making it a great one for strollers and mobility devices.

If you’re waiting to dip your toe into the Trail Challenge, then we have an excellent opportunity for you next week. Dignity Health has recently started a “Walk with a Doc” series and the featured trail on July 16 is a 2 mile walk on the Lake Siskiyou Trail to the Wagon Creek Bridge. Here is a perfect opportunity to get your Trail Challenge off to a safe start. Yes, completing this shortened version of the Lake Siskiyou Loop checks this trail off your Trail Challenge Passport.

The Mount Shasta Trail Challenge is always FREE and you can get your passport and all the information you need right here.
