Description: This is moderate terrain, not too technical. There are many other variations you can take. Not uncommon to run into deer, bobcat, coyote, and rattle snakes. I've ridden this park (Pt. Mugu State Park) for over 20 years and I'm still not bored!

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

This is a cool beginner trail. It is all mainly fire road. From the parking area it is all dirt until you enter the entrance of the sycamore trail, which is all pavement and down hill. Once you get to the flatter surface road there will be a fox trail to your right. It is a cool little single track with a couple blind turns. I have attached some photos so you have an idea what to look for so you can enter that single track. It is all mainly fire road.

This trail is fun to ride. There is nothing too technical here. Its pretty much all fire road. I like to start from the dirt parking area on the side of Potero road and end up at the camp site at on the beach at the end of the trail. This trail may also be made into a loop by taking Sycamore cyn and turn on Wood cyn. Wood cyn will come to a fork and both ways will lead you to the same place. If you decide to go left and take HELL HILL (some steap climbing here) you will end up at Overlook trail make a left. If you take the fork right then you will hit the Guadalasca trail. take the Guadalasca trail to Overlook trail and make a left. Follow Overlook trail down to the campground at the bottom. Take Big Sycamore cyn trail all the way up and back to your car. It is about 13 miles total. There is fresh water at the campground

I ride this trail every Sunday. It has a good variety of beginner & intermediate technicalities. If you're seeking a long ride, with a moderate to intense aerobic workout, this is the place for you. All trails intersect with one-another, so it's fairly challenging to get lost. On the downside, there are a lot of hikers to run over. Be careful flying down these hills Tip: Go early to beat the crowd & the hikers.

The main trail is partially paved and the rest is a dirt fire road. The terrain is varied, not difficult. There are a number of trails off the main that are very challenging. You can ride for days here and not become tired of it. I have ridden here for 20+ years and love it.
