  • Ides Cove Trail

    The Ides Cove Trail is a cool experience for those looking to enjoy solitude in the great outdoors. It is about a two-hour drive from Paskenta. The trail is moderate to difficult hiking, and you and your horse should be experienced if you plan on riding the trails. Expect to find steep rocky terrain and occasional trees down across the trail. Square Lake is just over a mile from the trailhead, with Long Lake being just past that. Frying Pan is almost 15 miles of rough trail from the Ides Cove Trailhead. The trail may be hard to follow so ensure you are well versed in map reading and terrain association, but the destination is well worth the travel.
