Popular North Coast Mountain Biking Trails
• 100 ★ 4.9 • 2 miles • 276 ft • 808 •
Th newest trail in JDSF installed by Mendocino Coast Cyclists with trail sponsor OTM along with the guidance of CalFIRE. Machine cut by Progressive Trail Design, this trail is swoopy and berm filled goodness.
• 95 ★ 4.6 • 5,212 ft • 154 ft • 754 •
This is a very old trail that was put in by the CCC in the 1930's and leads to the Woodlands state park. For many years it was ignored and became over grown and impassable. It gets its name from the old steam left there by the logging...
• 90 ★ 4.2 • 2,241 ft • 19 ft • 745 •
This is a very popular trail that is used in both directions so use caution. Its not a very long, maybe about 1/4 mile, but it is a bit technical with some tight steep switch backs.
• 90 ★ 4.5 • 2 miles • 162 ft • 730 •
Nice and flowy trail with some blind turns and exposure. Not super challenging if ridden slowly but becomes more technical as rider speed increases.
• 95 ★ 4.4 • 2,277 ft • 60 ft • 700 •
Highly rated popular blue difficulty singletrack. This mountain bike primary trail can be used downhill primary. On average it takes 3 minutes to complete this trail.
• 100 ★ 3.8 • 2 miles • 188 ft • 673 •
A better alternative to Road 409 that runs right along side the road. Easy fun.
• 95 ★ 4.2 • 2,720 ft • 87 ft • 664 •
The start of the trail from 720 is a bit confusing: 200 ft of single track, then left onto a forest road for 100 feet, than another hard left back onto single-track. The early part of this trail is a short steep climb. When you start...
