Trail Description
The Loafer Creek Area is set in a beautiful foothill ecosystem that includes blue oaks, digger pines, manzanita, and grassy slopes, perfect for day hiking. Keep an eye out for ground squirrels, woodpeckers, mule deer, hares, and many more creatures! If you’re looking for a relaxing walk, the Loafer Creek Day Use Trail offers an easy nature walk connecting the Campground, the Day Use Area, and the entrance station. Accessible from all three campgrounds in the Loafer Creek Campground, the Loafer Creek Loop Trail is perfect for hikers and equestrians. Enjoy rolling hills and a few steeper climbs and descents along the tree-lined trail. You can also access the rest of Lake Oroville’s extensive trail system by crossing Saddle Dam to increase the mileage on this otherwise moderate hike. With the trail overlapping others in the area, you’ll want to make sure to study the interactive map before your trip! If you're looking for facilities, Loafer Creek Horse Camp is nearby the trail. It has 15 campsites, a washing station, and a warm-up area adjacent to Lake Oroville’s extensive trail system.
