The Susanville Trailhead is located off of Richmond Road and provides access for the BLM managed portion of the Bizz Johnson Non-Motorized Trail. The trailhead was completed in 1991 and served as the in town trailhead until the Susanville Depot was restored and opened for use in 1994 which is now managed by the Lassen Lands and Trails Trust in partnership with the BLM. The "Caboose" Susanville Trailhead serves visitors who park and go without stopping in at the depot. View photos of the Bizz Johnson Trail here.
