Description: About 12 miles of trails that were built by the Coos Regional Trail Association. The trails are shared use with hikers and motorized Class 3 vehicles. The location makes them ridable only during the summer and dry(er) months (June - October) unless you are lucky enough to get a streak of sun outside that small window. The network of trails are very well built with plenty of burms and run-offs that double as jumps. Bridges and grippy concrete slabs that help the keep the muckiest areas a bit drier. There are some very flowy sections, but watch out for ruts from motos, they can catch you off gaurd. There are several loops that can be created with this system and bailouts are available no more than every few miles. Get map at www.coostrails.com, or just go for more info about the trails system (Winchester too!)

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by tumbleweed14 on July 26, 2007
I just rode this this morning and had a blast. It is the middle of summer and hasn't rained in days, but the coastal mist is keeping it mighty damp. Plenty of ruts from motorized vehicles, and the spotty muddy sections kept my tires from being able to grip really well. I went to high school here over a decade ago and this wasn't built. I now think it is the best set of trails in the area that I know about. Wichester is great too, but a very different type of ride. more technical, less flowing. Sections of this trail can be fast, but watch the corners cuz they come up quick. The general wetness of the area keeps landing soft, just avoid trees. There is no one out there and the forest is incredibly quiet. If I lived here, I would get on these trails as much as possible. All in all, a great ride! The trails were built with care and were in great shape.
