This place rocks, lots of different routes to choose. Technical climbs if you want em, rough descents, plenty of trail to explore. The downs are awesome. South Burma and Schultz are my favorites. Every way into the park is a couple miles up. Good place to take your XC bike AM bikes can be a bit much.

Been to Annadel a couple times in recent weeks. Alittle slippery in spots. No big deal though. We have been going up North and South Burma to Marsh then down Ridge to Spring Creek then around Spring Lake back to parking on Channel Dr. Its a great local place that I'll be spending more time at. Next time I think we will go up Canyon and Ridge and Down the Burma Trails.

Fun after work ride, or maybe early weekend before chilling out at Howarth Lake for a little fishing...all in all this is a fun ride, I have many fond memories of this trail.

Dude! I haven't rode Annadel in YEARS- Like 12 years- I used to go after work almost every day until I moved down to Kern County. Now I ride in the Southern Sierras every weekend- Come on down and enjoy the rides then finish your day at the Kern River Brewing Company in Kernville California! What a blast! And great IPA!

It gets hot, so bring lots of water. Nice picnic areas around the lake. Various types of wildlife, not including myself, like deer and turkeys. A snake slithered by the trail as i was waiting for my friend. You will understand the name of Rough Go Trail when you feel it. Rigid forks need not apply. Unless you're a lunatic. :)

Working in Santa Rosa for the Summer, and Annadel has some pretty sweet trails. The ride up Spring Creek is easy, and then eventually travels through some dense forest as it continues on toward Lake Ilsanjo. The lake would be a nice place to cool off on a hot day, as the terrain in the park is often dense forest with periods of full sun exposure. From Spring Creek the ride up & down Canyon to the Marsh Trail is fireroad, and then the Marsh makes it way into more dense forest as you head toward the Ridge Trail. Some awesome redwoods in here. Ridge eventually loops back into the Marsh and drops you into Buick Meadow. From here take South Burma through some cool rock gardens. This trail eventually ends at Warren Richardson. Head North for a short bit to pick up North Burma and enjoy the riding from here. Fantastic downhill, that continues to Live Oak, heading North this trail will bomb through dense forest, so check your brakes. Live Oak drops you onto Channel Trail which dumps you out onto Channel Drive. I've ridden several different ways now, and going up Rough Go is a must for the technically inclined. I actually prefer the ride up, than down, heading toward Lake Ilsanjo. Heading down Rough Go, you can leave the park by taking Cobblestone. Now don't get me wrong, but initially I was p***ed that started up Cobblestone, because it is exactly what it says it is, "cobblestone". The first half-mile or so is not very enjoyable, but the pay-off is again, more fantastic downhill for a little more than a mile.

Good ride and keeps you moving. Head around the lake and back down Cobble Stone. Your arms and hands will be hurting. Start early in the morning though by 11 it was getting HOT!

Annandale Rocks! I lived in Santa Rosa for many years and enjoyed riding Annandale - whether its a short loop ride, or several hours of loop after loop! The best part of Annandale is that you can ride fireroads to singletrack, anything from "easy" (relatively speaking) to "technical". Personally, I like the warm-up going up Richardson's grade, then on to South Burma, up to Marsh, down to Canyon, around to Lake Ilsanjo for a break, then Live Oak to either North Burma or Rough-go. And if that gets boring, try Two-quarry.

1/2 mile from my house. Ride 3-4 times a week. Annadel is beautiful and challenging. Many loops to choose from, a quick 12 miler after work or 25+ on a weekend epic. Email me for best routes.

This trail network is awesome. Something for Everyone. Riding down North and South Burma is so much fun. Rough Go will get your heart-Rate up and so will cobblestone path on the way up.

Some interesting trails but not that fun. Very hot in the summer. Some rocky sections.
