Trail Description:
This trail goes around Timothy Lake.

Description CW from the dam. This is a multiple use trail with hikers, horse riders, and mtb. The west side of the lake is single track with rolling hills through forest. At the north end a junction has only one choice for mtb, and that's right on old trail 1916. The FS has just re-worked and made this trail which bypasses the gravel roads. It is rough track along this section aas it has not seem much use. There is one long hill on an old dirt road followed by a just as hard downhil through the rough road.

The 1916 trail gets very faint and dumps you onto the PCT ( no bikes! ) which leads me to believe they still have work to do.

Go right or south on the PCT for about 1/4 mile and you hit paved road. Go right for about 1/4 mile and the trail continues winding through the numerous campgrounds along this side of the lake.

The trail is very close to the shore.

How to get there:
Go to Estacada and follow FS roads and signs to Timothy Lake

From the previous comments, it looks like they have improved the trails a bit as I have gone both CW and CCW and it is easy to find your way. Just keep in mind that you are going in a circle around a lake and to always turn left (ccw) or right (cw)! last weekend I ran into a little traffic with a band of horses and some other bikers/hikers, but not too much and everyone was very courteous and let me pass with no problems. Also i found an awesome spot about halfway through where there is a bluff that gives a panoramic view - great place to take a snack break and i ended up jumping in the lake to cool off. great time!

Got this trail today with nobody on it. The sign that directed people down the gravel road in the wrong direction is no longer there and the route remains on the trail. Some interesting hills and small technical sections, but overall its really a good ride. Again, there was nobody out there, so it was nice to just fly down the hills. Here is the route to avoid the PCT: trail head at the dam, get on trail 528. Walk bike through the 600 ft of PCT that you have to follow to get to trail 537. Follow the signs to stay on 537, intersecting a number of gravel roads along the way. Sometimes 537 will use some service roads, just keep looking for signs. 527 ends at the road you came in on, Rd 42. Get on that, stay right at the fork just a couple hundred yards down, and continue for a half mile until you see the sign for trail 534. This dumps you back onto 528, and you're home free and back to the dam in no time. A good pace ride will get you around in about 3 hours, depending on you're s

Signs seem to be pretty easy to follow when we did this on our Mtn tandem last weekend so maybe they have been changed. The West side lake trail is wide smooth dirt track. The rest is much more rocky but still easy and enjoyable. There are numerous short cuts on gravel and paved roads if you want a shorter/easier ride.

good beginner ride pct trail adds a little technical stick to the trail closet to lake. There were a couple side trails that went to lake, I would recomend. I rode clockwise, and will try the other direction next year, either way is pretty easy.

Good to read this board and see that others lost the trail besides us! The ride goes along great until you have to leave the 528 and hit the 1916 trail. The going is a little rough and rocky here, but still fun. Then, the trail hits a gravel road where a sign points you down the gravel road. This sign is wrong. Turn right up the rocky dirt road, not left down the gravel road. We and several others turned left down the gravel road (following the sign), and after 1 mile of gravel, we hit a paved road. Turning right toward Timothy Lake, we went another mile and turned right again toward the lake. About six miles of paved road later, we were back at the day use area. The REAL trail goes up the dirt road and cruises downhill down fun singletrack. Next time we'll try that part! The lake is beautiful, and the trail isn't too crowded, even on summer weekends, because of the length. After a good ride, you can take a swim. I think the closest town to this lake is pro
