Gold Creek

Trail Overview

Gold Creek Trail is a 1.6-mile dirt bike route that climbs steeply from south to north, gaining approximately 800 feet in elevation. The wide, well-maintained path is shared with hikers and horses and includes roots, embedded rocks, wooden bridges, and even a couple of benches with scenic views. Riders will encounter blunt ledges from rocks and roots, tight forested turns, and moderately challenging climbing switchbacks, particularly near the north end. One major rock obstacle features a bypass, and the trail becomes narrow at the top, with sweeping views of lakes and mountains. The trail intersects with the non-motorized Davis Trail near the beginning, and the Plummer Trail near the north end. It crosses a road and ends at the intersection with the Vista ATV trail.
