Trail Overview

This short and easy trail starts on the Forest Service Road 4N16 and goes north, passing the intersection with 16EV136 in a dry and grassy meadow with loose rock. It continues into the forest of pines and oaks, winding on a smooth dirt path with not many rocks, but roots here and there. A lot of downed logs have already been cut, making this approachable and easy for newer riders. There are a couple more rutted sections, and low-hanging branches to watch out for. It steadily descends from south to north, with the steepest section being on the north end as it makes a big hairpin turn to drop down to the FS Road 3N59YA. The FS Road is more like a continuation of the trail, being really narrow between the trees, and mostly trafficked by dirt bikes to access this trail. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 - 4/14 to motorized use.

Access Description

This trail system in the Stanislaus National Forest can be accessed from either the Deer Creek Staging Area on the west side of the trail system, or from Crandall Campground on the east side of the trail system. The Deer Creek Staging Area is a primitive dirt lot with space for several vehicles and small trailers, accessed via Italian Bar Road. The Crandall OHV Parking and Camping Area has several primitive camp spots with picnic tables. All of the trails are open from April 15 to December 15, but it gets really hot and dry in the summer here, so the best times to visit are spring and fall.
