Great Shasta Rail Trail links the mountain towns of McCloud and Burney in northern California, nestled in pristine mountains and open forests, near creeks and lakes with majestic views of Mount Shasta.

The red cinder gravel trail carried McCloud Railway lumber trains for over a century. Established in McCloud in 1896, the railroad expanded with timber harvests; trains arrived in Bartle in 1905 and Burney in 1955. The railroad ceased operations on these sections in 2006. Thirty-seven miles of the 80-mile trail opened in 2015 – open sections now total 40 miles. More sections will open within 10 years as bridges are restored. Trail use is for non-motorized activities – biking, running, walking, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing and equestrian.

It runs through Shasta-Trinity National Forest and enchanting meadows past iconic landmarks such as the Lake Britton Bridge, featured in the 1986 movie “Stand By Me.”

Prepare for wilderness conditions. Carry extra food and water and keep your dog on a leash. The Bartle Cafe offers the only nearby food and beverages. Cell phone signals can be sparse so tell someone your trail route. GreatShastaRailTrail.org
