June 23, 2023: The seasonal bridge over the Susan River connecting Devils’ Corral with the Southside Trail is place for the season!

Bizz Johnson

The Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail is co-owned and managed by the Lassen National Forest-Eagle Lake Ranger District and the Bureau of Land Management-Eagle Lake Field Office, with Lassen Land & Trails Trust serving as a formal interpretive partner for the Trail. This Rail Trail is 25.4 miles long and the majority of the trail winds its way along the rugged Susan River Canyon. A gentle 3% grade and wide gravel surface make the Bizz perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, while the Southside Trail provides a more technical single-track opportunity running parallel to the Bizz from Hobo Camp to Devils’ Corral, with two additional access points in between.

Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are great activities on the Bizz Johnson Trail. Snow coverage is best at higher, shaded segments west of Highway 36, upstream of the Devil’s Corral Trailhead. There are also good opportunities after significant snowfall in the lower Susan River Canyon between Devil’s Corral and Susanville. Ice-covered rocks in the river, icicles on ledges and in the tunnels, and beautiful snow make this a gorgeous place to cross country ski or snowshoe.
