Cycling
Day-cyclists and long distance riders love our trails and rural roads, with mountain and lake vistas and few other people.
Cyclists, we need your help. Summer 2020 has seen a crisis in on our public lands just south of Crater Lake, with alarming increases in careless resource damage, trash and human waste, and lack of respect for neighboring private lands. PLEASE recreate responsibly, so these special places stay open for public use.
