Land Luge Loop - Redding California Mountain Bike Trails

A lot of this trail is singletrack, much of it traversing an old ditch, which is appropriately called the Great Water Ditch Trail. The name of the ride is also appropriate, because you spend much of your time riding in the bottom of the old ditch, which looks like a luge. This “luge” section is almost flat, but the ride starts out with a series of short steep climbs and descents, and ends with a technical and scenic romp above Clear Creek. Highlights: A long non-technical section of luge-like trail contained within an old ditch, followed by a short technical section of trail perched above a beautiful stream.
