The Great Shasta Rail Trail

Becoming a scenic multi-use 80 mile trail

Great Shasta Rail Trail

The Great Shasta Rail Trail will link the towns of McCloud and Burney and nearby recreation areas along an 80-mile scenic trail featuring local heritage and culture, close connections to nature, and boosting the economic and social vitality of local communities.

The Project

An alliance of local non-profit organizations is working to develop eighty miles of rail bed between McCloud and Burney, California into a multi-use trail. Trail developers are writing grant applications, raising funds in the community, and planning the trail.

The Great Shasta Rail Trail will link the communities of McCloud and Burney with an historic and scenic corridor, providing recreational and stewardship opportunities which will enhance the economic, environmental, and social vitality of the region.
