Description: There is some climbing to be done so bring your good legs. This ride provides some great views and a few really rocky/technical areas. There's also a really cool and spooky tunnel to ride through that plunges you into almost complete darkness. If you like you could start this ride off Old Forest Hill Rd where the loop starts and bypass the climb back up to Russell Rd where I parked.. The parking down there is limited, though, and today it was packed...on a Tuesday! Either way, this is a must ride in a very scenic area.

Fun trail, short. To make some miles and fun out of it add it to the foresthill connector and loop trail

I've ridden all around Northern California and Culvert to Confluence is one of the best DH's around if you love single tracks and itch to ride fast technical trails as well and throw yourself off some jumps on the way Culvert/Confluence is for you. To get to the trail head go down Foresthill Rd and make a left on Upperlake Clementine Rd. just past Old Foresthill Rd on your right, the trail head is about a half mile or so down the road on the left. Connector comes out on the right hand side... and should be hit at least once because it kicks ass and only has some minor climbing. The trail head for Culvert and Confluence is little further down on the left. Don't get scared in the culvert... (tunnel). -RIDING IS FREEDOM, ALL ELSE IS WAITING-
Similar Trail: Connector, Downieville, Northstar, the downs at Annadel State Park are awesome. Bits of Pioneer if you can climb longer bits. Bullard's Bar.... hmmm

Very fun and technical downhill trail with jumps, gaps, rock gardens, and drops after a 4-5 mile climb. it is about a 4-5 mile climb on pavement so it is very easy. If you DH, the best trail down is murders to rocky, confluence is really fun too because it has a 15 foot road gap, and a step up onto a sketchy 4 foot high boulder to a 2 foot drop. in the photos, the one when the guys are catching air is the really fun hip right at the start of confluence

make it a long ride and include the connector trail, forresthill divide, and stagecoach. Confluence downhill is awesome by itself, be sure to include the covert trail too. there's sweet jumps built up for the dhers too. I shuttled confluence, stagecoach/manzaneta/flood trail, and the mammoth bar ohv in the rain one day. that was pretty cool. confluence downhill has a waterfall to go under when it's raining hard. the dirt around there holds up well in the wet.

Awesome downhill after a real long 4-5 mile climb. Climb is on pavement, so not that hard. Roads are also availible to shuttle to the top if you want to do it that way.
