Trail Description:
This trail offers a variety of terrain including dry-dusty loose dirt, volcanic rock & pumice, and hard pack. The entire length is single track from Sparks Lake to Lava lake. Ride through burned out pine forest and Lava rock formations. Scenic views of Mt. Bachelor, S. Sisters and both lakes. Its a must ride if you are in central Oregon.
How to get there:
From Bend take highway 46 just past Mt. Bachelor and park at the trailhead for Sparks Lake on the left. Follow this trail for 12 miles all the way to the Lava Lake campground. If you have arranged a shuttle you can take highway 46 from Lava Lake back to the Sparks Lake trailhead, or you can ride the highway uphill back to your starting point.
Additional Notes:
Taking this route gives you an elevation loss of probably 1,000 feet. If you are looking for a good

Just finished the trail (which by the way is not in wilderness). It's a bit technical at each end, pretty mellow in the middle. Went from Sparks to Lava - and shuttled back - about 10 miles. Ash bogs you down a bit, lava rock and ups and downs. Great trip!

Talk about doing your research, Brendan, you are so wrong, dude. Sparks lake to Lave is NOT Wilderness, it is national forest. All trails south of Cascades Lakes Hwy our outside the wilderness.

Reply to Dan - Actually you should do some research. This trail is NOT in a wilderness area. It is contained within the boundries of the Deschutes National Forest east of the Three Sisters Wilderness Area. This ride is featured in the mountain biking maps available at the bike shops in Bend.
