Just follow the shoreline of lost creek lake
Started the ride from the Joseph H Stewart camp grounds.. rode along the "no bikes" pavement til it turned to a dirt trail.
| ThankTrail is wide enough for new riders to feel comfortable and get a taste for dirt. There are a number of trees down so only rode about 3 miles from camp in a clockwise route

Review: Well here's my review. I'm not too good at it but I figured I would share my point of view. Right outside Shady Cove Oregon is a beautiful lake called Lost Creek which has a beautiful single track around it for cross-country Riders. And also hiking. I am always up for an adventure and always heard about the Lost Creek singletrack, Which is called the (Rouge Trail) that goes around the lake. I believe there is two options you can go clockwise or counterclockwise I chose to go counter-clockwise and start from the Lost Creek dam. I could tell right from the beginning of this ride it was going to be an adventure. There was a wildfire burning in the distance towards Prospect Oregon which made the lake filled with smoke so I was kind of hesitant on doing the ride because I really didn't want to breathe smoke for 20 miles. However it was about 3pm and the inversion layer was starting to lift and I could see the blue skies. I could see the Wildfire starting to pick up in the distance. So on the journey I went. Beautiful single track for the first 7miles with some cool Bridges and a couple nice climbs and then you tie end to St Joseph's Park which is a resort on the lake. There was a fire camp with a bunch of Heroes that were fighting the wildfire in the area, so some of the trails were blocked in rerouted to the next section of the Rogue Trail. I continued for an additional 2 more miles until I hit the Lost Creek Bridge which the trail loops around and comes back towards the damn for 10 miles. As I continued on the Rouge trail I was just going to figure it was kind of simple single track. After a mile around the loop section I started encounter more Rock Gardens and more technical sections for the cross-country climbs loose gravel sharp rocks you name it. There was a few descending areas which was very flow and fun which would Loop you around on some bridges and it would bring you around the lake. I finally made it around the lake 19 miles 2000 ft climbing elevation. Loaded up my Bike and took off.
