Mountain Biking

The park has over 200 miles of roads and trails that are open to mountain bikes. The rugged terrain offers a variety of riding operations ranging from moderately difficult to extremely difficult.  There are practically no easy trails for bikes.  Trails that are less severe for riding are Flat Frog Trail, Manzanita Point Road near the Coe Ranch Entrance, and at the Hunting Hollow entrance Hunting Hollow Road and Coit Road are moderately steep. 

Basic Rules
