Biking
Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing recreation experiences on America's public lands, and the Modoc National Forest is no exception to the trend.
The Modoc National Forest does not have trails specifically designed or designated for mountain biking. Biking is allowed on all trails except those located in the South Warner Wilderness Area and the Blue Lake National Recreation Trail.
Forest Service roads are open to shared use including mountain bikes. Beware of large trucks, recreational vehicles, hikers and occasional horsemen. Mountain bikes must yield to hikers and horses. Always control your speed for the distance you can see ahead so that you can come to a full stop for hikers and horsemen.
Forest roads at higher elevations may remain snow covered well into June depending on weather. Always control your speed for the distance you can see ahead.
