Looking for a great spring time hike near Shasta Lake just north of Redding, California?

Here is a suggestion that most any hiker will enjoy...

Bailey Cove Loop Trail

This trail makes a loop and is approximately 3 miles in length. It has very little elevation gain and the lake is almost always in view. You will walk through a wide variety of vegetation. Access to the water to take a swim or to fish is plentiful. Be sure to take your camera and binoculars as you might be fortunate to see a Bald Eagle and/or an Osprey soaring overhead.
