Doe Flat is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 1.9 miles in the Siskiyou Wilderness, within the Gasquet Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest in northern California. The trail rises from a low point of about 4,177 feet to a high of about 4,472 feet, a climb of roughly 290 feet, and the Forest Service manages the land. The trail is natural-surfaced and open to both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers.
