Ride in RainYes
This trail is pretty mellow to get to the top, once you are there you have an amazing view of Shasta dam, Lake Shasta and Mt Shasta. The ride down is fast and flowy with some rollers periodically.
Access Info
Take Lake Blvd to Flanagan road. Follow Flanagan all the way to the end where you will see a gravel parking lot on your right. The trail head starts there.
