Length: 2.8 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Bailey Cove Trail is a scenic hike along the lower McCloud Arm of Shasta
Lake and provides good access for fishing and sightseeing. The trail circles
what was once a mountain and offers an interesting opportunity to see how
exposure to the sun affects the different sides. The south facing slopes are
noticeably hotter and dryer and covered with manzanita and knobcone pines
which are heat tolerant The north side of the mountain is decidedly cooler
and the vegetation changes to pines and oaks, and finally to thick groves of
Douglas Fir.
