Trail Overview

This is the only major ATV trail in the Crandall trail system north of Long Barn, California. It starts right near the Crandall Campground, and is relatively easy overall, making it ideal for families or newer riders to go on a short ride near the campground. It climbs up steeply from the east entrance - keep your momentum up. The initial steep slope is the hardest part of the trail. The trail has been built up with cement pavers to help prevent erosion and rutting on the steep slope. The grade mellows out on the hilltop after the initial climb, continuing on a wide path through the sparse pine forest, with lots of little loose rocks in the trail. There are huge burn piles of cut trees lining the trail as this area has been cleared. After 1.1 miles and over 450 feet elevation gain, the trail ends on FS 4N15 under Crandall Peak. 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.
