Trail Overview

This 5.6-mile segment of Trail A is a long and windy single track in the Canfield Trail System. It's wide and smooth coming from the east end. It has narrower sections later with more pieces of rock in the trail. It goes along a shelf, winding along the side of the mountain. It's like an old shelf road turned into a single track. It turns off from this shelf road and goes through a dark dense forest with tree tunnels. It goes over some water bars to prevent erosion, which are like little rollers to jump off of. It's still a smooth trail that is nice, fast, and flowy. It goes through a tiny stream crossing. There is a little bit more elevation gain in the second half of the trail as it goes west. Logs are down but they are cut. Near the west end, there are deep troughs and ruts with mud. They aren't too hard to get through, you just have to navigate the troughs.

Access Description

This is a small trail system for dirt bikers and ATVs right next to the town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, that has a little bit for everyone. It has hard trails, easy trails, single tracks, and two tracks in a really cool environment. It's close to town, but you can still see wildlife here including deer and moose. There are parking areas at the end of Nettleton Gulch Road and up East Fernan Lake Road. These are multi-use trails shared with hikers and mountain bikers, so please be respectful. There are sometimes trail signs at each trail, but there are often lots of unmarked intersections, and it's like a maze of trails here, so it's really helpful to have this area saved in your offline maps. You may get 1 or 2 bars of cell service while on the trails, but may also have no signal. It's hot in the summer here, and rainy/snowy in the winter, but it's rideable almost all year long. This trail is best in spring, summer, and fall.
