Mule Ridge and Swasey Trail Map

Mountain bikers, hikers, and horseback riders of all skill levels will find a trail to their liking at the Swasey Recreation Area. The Wintu Trail climbs to a vista point with amazing views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. The Escalator is a steady climb to Mule Mountain Pass, where you can ride over into the Whiskeytown NRA or where you can ride down the rugged upper Mule Mountain Trail to the lower portion of the trail which follows an historic mining ditch. From Mule Mountain Pass you can also access the Mule Ridge Trail system.  The network of trails in this area allows for short or long loops so you can get a ride or hike in no matter how much time you have.  Camping, target shooting and motor vehicle use on trails is prohibited.
