Turn south onto the road to Manzanita Lake Campground. Follow the road for 0.8 mile, then take Loop F around another 0.2 mile to the small parking area near site 31.<\/p>\n<h2>Hiking the Manzanita Creek Trail<\/h2>\n<p>As you start on the sandy path, look above greenleaf manzanita and between Jeffrey pines and white firs at the stark visages of Chaos Crags and Lassen Peak. Continue on, then welcome the pleasing presence of red firs in the forest at 0.7 mile; staghorn lichens add fluorescent green to the trunks of both the red firs and white firs.<\/p>\n<p>Climb steadily through the forest and reach an open, level area at 1.1 miles. Continue a very gentle ascent, then climb steeply as you note the presence of western white pines. Soon you\u2019ll have more views of Chaos Crags and Lassen Peak and will delight in the appearance of large quantities of lupine, coyote mint, penstemon, and gilia.<\/p>\n<h2>Manzanita Creek<\/h2>\n<p>Reach the bridge across Manzanita Creek at 2 miles, a great spot to rest and watch the water flow beneath your feet and then disappear downhill amidst bordering flowers and mountain alder. When ready, continue past level areas for backpackers. You\u2019ll see Loomis Peak to the south at 2.4 miles. Featuring a serrated crest and multicolored steep cliffs that drop abruptly to near the west bank of Manzanita Creek, this impressive volcano will be the dominant topographical feature for the remainder of the hike.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2019\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2019\" src=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/manzanita-creek-trail-lassen-peak-national-park.jpg\" alt=\"Lassen Peak from the Manzanita Creek trail\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/manzanita-creek-trail-lassen-peak-national-park.jpg 550w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/manzanita-creek-trail-lassen-peak-national-park-490x367.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lassen Peak from the Manzanita Creek trail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Note small meadows farther on near the creek, briefly travel through a dense red fir forest, then enter the first sizable meadow at 2.8 miles.

Faint paths traverse the meadow, but you may be content to sit on a log, enjoy a picnic, and gaze up at Loomis Peak and other surrounding ridges.<\/p>\n<h2>Manzanita Lake Trail<\/h2>\n<p>Nearby: A level 1.5-mile path circles large and beautiful Manzanita Lake, offering access to a wide variety of plant and animal life. Views can be breathtaking, especially the sight of Chaos Crags and Lassen Peak reflected in the waters from the north shore.
