Trail Overview

This is a short and easy trail that is easily accessible near the Deer Creek Staging Area, making it a good option for beginner riders not too far from the staging. It's only .6 miles long, connecting two forest roads. The west end starts on a shelfy hillside elevated above the forest road, winding tightly between big pine trees. There's a caution sign marked before and after a cattle guard. There are lots of downed logs that have been cut, some of which are sticking into the trail or lining the trail, and you want to watch your pegs on those. It keeps winding through the forest floor. The dirt is pretty smooth with scattered pine cones. It goes on a little narrow ridge for a moment to avoid a big downed log, and has a couple of semi-steep sections near the east end. 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.
