Mountain Bike
Going clockwise, it starts out as a rolling, swooping single track. Fir needles, a few roots, nice. After you walk your bike two hundred yards on the Pacific Crest Trail, the trail changes to more rocky single track with steeper pitches. You cross a few roads, but there isn't much traffic up there. The part around Clackamas Lake is pretty easy--very dusty in late summer. The latter part of the ride on the east side of Timothy Lake has a few technical spots, but nothing too serious. Come out on forest road 57, cross the dam, and you're done. The trail itself can be a good workout for beginners and experience in riding the trail will vary whether you ride it clockwise or counter-clockwise. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Add ResourceNever modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
