Doe Lake is a hard hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Weaverville Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. The trail is about 14 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 2,085 feet, and it runs on natural surface. The Forest Service manages the land. The route is an out-and-back that starts at about 5,462 feet and climbs to about 7,339 feet. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. That makes it a trail for hikers and riders on foot or horseback, not for cyclists. Several other trails sit close by.
