South Side Trail

This amazing trail connects to the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail. From Susanville, this trail starts at a BLM day use area called Hobo Camp. There is a good swimming hole, fishing, picnic areas, and restrooms. The South Side Trail begins as narrow, hand-built trail next to the upper parking area. The trail twists and turns along the contour and crosses an old dirt road. The trail follows the rim above the Susan River for 2 miles and gets better and better the whole way. There are hills all the way to Devil's Corral, which is a trailhead just west of Susanville, off of State HWY 36. The South Side Trail features long sections of trail that move seamlessly through basalt lava flows and evergreen glades along the beautiful Susan River. Trail users will see the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail across the canyon.
