Trail Overview

Forebay Road is a short but fun forest road that snakes through the trees and brush with plenty of opportunity for fun hill climbs off either side. Loosely following the high power lines, Forebay can connect you to a few different forest roads and trails with glimpses of the Sierras at times.

Road is fully open and only found frost in a few shaded areas and the picnic area at the bottom of the canyon was frosted over but easily drivable and the bathroom was open as well. We hooked up the tow strap and dragged two fallen trees out of the way to open up the trail.

Road is wide open. The further you get up, you''l find snow dusting the ground but nothing decent All-terrain tires wouldn't move you through. Really nice area towards the end of the trail. There is a loop you could do at the end if you have the right vehicle.
