About Summit Lake Stock Corral
Summit Lake Stock Corral (elevation 6.7 ft.) is conveniently located on the main road of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The stock corral is within walking distance of the small but scenic Summit Lake and seven miles from the trailhead to Lassen Peak, the largest volcano in the park (elevation 10.5 ft.).
Riders will find one of the park's major trails only 1/4 mi away from the stock corral. A convenient horse trail leads to the Summit Lake Ranger Station where the trailhead is located. Many more trails are in close proximity with access to Juniper Lake, Snag Lake, and Butte Lake. The Pacific Crest Trail, which runs through the park, is also accessible from the Summit Lake Stock Corral.

We had a great time riding the trails of Lassen volcanic park. The two corrals there were ample for our animals. Just watch out for the rogue deer that attacks dogs!

The park staff and rangers were all very friendly and helpful. The actual camp site for horses should have been located on the same side of the highway as the lake rather than across the street. We camped during the Labor Day holiday and it was too dangerous from all the traffic to cross with our mules. You need more horse only trails developed from the campsite that do not require crossing a road traveled by cars!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
