HIKE OF THE MONTH
Cultus Loop Mountain Bike Trail

(Description taken from Mountain Biking & Cross Country skiing by Fat Tire Publications)

The trailhead can be reached by traveling 35 miles southwest of Bend on Highways 97 and 40 to the Cascade Lakes Highway(Hwy 46)  Head left(south to the Cultus Lake access road, follow this road a couple of miles to the picnic area at the lake.  (about 1 hour from Bend)

The trail is about 12 miles long and will take about 2-3 hours to ride.  It is best ridden in summer and fall and is an intermediate trail which provides a moderate aerobic workout.

This trail is popular with hikiers and horses so it should be avoided during busy summer weekends.
 
 
This is a grat singletrack through a subalpine forest with swimming in the clear, blue waters of Cultus Lake.  Its best to ride this loop in a clockwise direction.  Be sure to get a milkshake at the Cultus Lake Resort after your effort.

Maps that cover this trail are:  Mountain Biking & Cross Country Skiing Central Oregon.

Order this map from our catalog.
