Since
the earliest days of the "Wild West", Klamath, Lake and Modoc
Country has been worthy of the wildest. Today's residents and visitors
to the area, however, find their excitement not in taming the west, but
in the great outdoors. And there is no better way to experience the hugeness
of nature than from the seat of your mountain bike.
Klamath, Lake and Modoc Country
offers a bounty of trails from the rugged to the groomed. A "rail
of trails" program begun in 1992 will eventually convert over one
hundred miles of OC&E and Woods Line rails laid in 1917 to woods lines
of a different breed. Cyclists enjoy high desert, forest and waterside
on these trails and can reach camping sites with adventure.
The citified Mountain biker will
find extensive opportunities for cycling as well. The Klamath Freewheelers
and Klamath Cyclists both are active clubs with regular organized rides.
The Klamath Heat is an annual race that draws hundreds of riders from throughout
the Northwest and the nation.
In planning your trip, remember
that bikes are not permitted within any Federally designated wilderness
and on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Please Tread Lightly.
Discover mountain biking in Klamath,
Lake, and Modoc Country - and find diversity, challenge and family fun.
