The Bizz Johnson Trail is a 25.5-mile long unpaved pathway that travels through the rugged hillsides located to the southeast of Mount Lassen in Lassen County located in Northern California. The trail follows the route of an abandoned railroad right-of-way. The trail includes several historic trestle railroad bridges over the Susan River and two tunnels. The trail is located far from any road ways and travels through the pine and fir forests of the area. The trail is situated between 4100 feet and 5500 feet above sea level and makes for a lovely trip in the fall to see the autumn colors of the willows along the river.
The eastern end of the trail is located within the City of Susanville at the historic railroad depot.
