This hike takes you through a scenic section of the river canyon that shelters a large variety of plant and animal life and offers a large dose of human history. Note that you can backpack the trail, but its heavy use by mountain bikers and other hikers means that you\u2019d have little privacy. The walk is described here as beginning at Devil\u2019s Corral, but you also can begin it from Susanville railroad depot or arrange for a car shuttle.<\/p>\n<h3>The Fernley and Lassen Railroad<\/h3>\n<p>As you begin the hike, note that the Bizz Johnson Trail is wide and flat with a very gentle grade\u2014it once held the tracks of the Fernley and Lassen Railroad. In operation from 1914 to 1956, the railroad serviced the local timber industry. As you walk the trail, note the mixture of plant habitats: Drier areas hold western juniper, sagebrush, and antelopebrush; moister areas feature ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and white fir; and the river\u2019s waters allow streamside willows and black cottonwoods to flourish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"color-block\">\n<h4>The Top 100 Day Hikes and Backpacking Trips in Northern California<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3154\" src=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/northern-california-hikes-100-classic-trails-4e-300.jpg\" alt=\"100 Classic Hikes in Northern California covers the best hiking trails in the Trinity Alps, Lassen Volcanic National Park, the Sierra Nevada, the redwood coast, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

At 1.3 miles, cross the river on the first of several bridges, then see Cheney Creek tumble in from the south. Inspect the canyon walls; they\u2019re composed of basalt that began as fluid lava that flowed for miles before cooling. Look for the bands separating successive flows and for the columnar jointing that cracked the basalt as it cooled.<\/p>\n<p>Reach a tunnel at 1.7 miles. It\u2019s cool and dusky recesses offer welcome respite from the heat and light outside, and its damp and musty smell will remind you of a wine cellar. (A good swimming hole is just upstream from the tunnel\u2019s east end.) Pass through a second tunnel at 2.0 miles, then take a rest on a log bench situated under the shade of a ponderosa pine at 2.8 miles.<\/p>\n<h3>Susan River Swimming Holes<\/h3>\n<p>The way continues east past the Susan River\u2019s tumbling waters. The stream slows enough to allow swimming under a bridge at 5.4 miles and farther downstream near sandbars accessed by side trails. Susanville and civilization appear at 6.2 miles, and at 6.9 miles, you\u2019ll reach the Susanville railroad depot, which has a visitor center, outside interpretive displays, and an information kiosk.<\/p>\n<h2>Devil\u2019s Corral to Goumaz on the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail<\/h2>\n<p>If you wish to explore more of the Bizz Johnson Trail\u2019s 25-mile length, consider hiking upstream 6 miles from Devil\u2019s Corral to Goumaz.
