The Eagle Lake Recreation Trail offers an engaging journey through the scenic beauty of pine and sagebrush landscapes along the southern edge of California’s second largest natural lake. Located in the Lassen National Forest, this trail extends just over 5 miles, connecting Christie Campground to the Eagle Lake Marina, making it a perfect outing for you and your dog.
This trail isn’t just about the walk; it’s a window to wildlife, offering chances to spot eagles, ospreys, pelicans, and the majestic great blue herons, alongside deer, antelope, coyotes, and rabbits that roam the area. Convenient amenities like drinking water and restrooms are accessible at campgrounds along the trail, and if you find yourself hungry, the marina has food available for purchase.
It’s an ideal spot for a day out with your pet, where both of you can immerse in nature and maybe even encounter some of the local wildlife up close. Parking is available at Eagle Lake Marina or Christie Campground.
