Lake Hodges Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail is mostly flat and winds along the west bank of Lake Hodges, offering views of the water and the dam along the way.

Tip by

15.9 km

Lake Drive passes through the community of Del Dios and runs along Lake Hodges to the dam, offering scenic views of the lake and countryside. This road is also used as part of the Coast to Crest Trail. Hodges Dam was constructed in 1918; the reservoir is a key feature of this route. The trail is a mix of hard-packed doubletrack and some tighter singletrack near the dam, great for beginner and intermediate riders. It is popular for its ease and proximity to trailheads and rewarding views of the dam.

Battle Mountain Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

The Battle Mountain Trailhead is a marked trailhead located at the end of Reata Way. It leads up the short incline trail to the summit of Battle Mountain. It is a very short and steep trail.

This is a great summit to do with kids, to fit in to a busy day, or to do some repeat summits on if you want to get some more steps in.

There is parking along the street on Reta Way leading up to the trailhead.
