Trail Overview

This trail is 1.1 miles of fun and easy winding single track through a dry and dusty forest of firs and pines. The trail has lots of big roots present, with tight twisty turns, and silty banked corners. Expect some deeper ruts as well, and natural drop-offs from the roots and ruts. The roots are dry and usually not off-camber, making them pretty approachable and easy to go over. All of these features make it an engaging trail, but not overly difficult, so it's an ideal option for newer riders looking to practice their skills. It goes through a lot of low trees like tree tunnels, so watch out for low-hanging branches at head height. This trail is near the 5 Corners Staging Area, making it easily accessible, and you can make a loop with Trail 5, which is of similar difficulty.

Access Description

The Rock Creek Trail System is located in the Eldorado National Forest near the town of Georgetown, California. Take Wentworth Springs Road east from the town of Georgetown, and follow the signs for either the Mace Mill Staging Area or the Bald Mountain Staging Area. Both are small and primitive staging areas with space for several vehicles to park and a small trailer turnaround. The third staging area, 5 Corners, is also small and primitive, located by either taking Rock Creek Road or FS 12N72 south of Wentworth Springs Road. The trails are open year-round, but close often during wet conditions, so it is advised to call the Georgetown Ranger District for the status of the trail system: (530) 334-6477. The trails are well-marked and highly maintained, ranging from easy to advanced.
