Description: This little known trail parallels Dry Creek, a tributary of the Tuolmne River. The trail is a series of undulating, twisting, technical single track trails that parallel a paved bike / jogging path. The trail extends east to Claus Rd. and west to La Loma Ave. The up and back distance is approximately 9 miles. The City of Modesto maintains the paved bike path, however, the single track trails are unofficially maintained by local enthusiasts :-) Please be courteous to other trail users and "tread lightly". Enjoy!

Great place to either take it easy (w/ the family) on the paved trail or ride the adjacent single-tracks running along the river for some thrills.

Like another reviewer said, this IS a sick ass trail! My first time out was yesterday and you might want take it slower at first like i did but then another biker and I blasted through it on the way back and hit the upper part also for a damn good workout. There are some spots where the trail eroded and if you're not careful can take a tumble into the river below. For a saturday there really was not a lot of other bikers on the trail. I definitely found a local spot I'll be coming back to.

I was pleased to find a clean quick trail with options to play around. I look forward to doing it at different times of year.

Nice trails for family and solo riding. Not too crowded during the week. As one rider wrote, can work up a good sweat on the upper trail by the golf course. Also a paved trail, good for the young kids!

Super fun! not to hard, undulating terrain, Be cautious in certain areas of trail its very narrow, and eroding on cliff side. Its easy to ride or fall off the track if you aren't careful. I took my Sister in-law and her boyfriend out there, and she got caught up and tumbled down the cliff, through brush and thorn bushes and into the water. Luckily she is ok, just sc***es and bruises! if you are new, take the trail very slow!

This is my second fva local run, it is nice. You can go after work, get some time in and ride home if your a local. If not great network of trails for weekend riding. Fun for all ages, my son whom is five loved it.

This is a sick single track. Some good climbs and some pretty fast descents, if you want it to be. Kinda short, but couple of laps and you'll have some sweat drippin........not super technical, but super fun for sure. Gets a little crowded, so watch the speed. Peace.........

Easy fun ride. Good for a family ride (if you ride the paved path). Lots of bugs sometimes :)

There are two ways to go from the La Loma Park. Golf Course and Orchard views 6 Miles round trip to the east from La Loma Park. Riverside and Park Scenery 3 Miles Round Trip to the West from La Loma Park I like how the single tracks run parallel to a paved path, where my kids & wife can ride.

Nice for a local trail. Some of the trails flows nicely with just enough technicality for newbies to improve on. Stay off the paved trail as much as possible and you can have a blast!

It's not the best trail,but it is a wonderful place to go after work or something.It's not too long, but you can do a couple laps and then you get a good enough workout.There are single trails, they are fun and not too hard.If you just want to go for a nice bike ride and relax this is the place for you.

Giving it 10 on the Scrub scale. As a kid I never had a trail this good and still had a blast. As a Grommet this would be Epic. A couple of places made me pucker which is always cool

this is a fun technical trail east of la loma park going towards claus rd. stay off the black top and look for trail heads over the riverbank and along the golf course bluffs. beautiful along the river with lots of shade and wildlife be careful along the river this singltrack can be tricky and dump you into 15 foot drop offs into the river. hot and good climbing along the golf course. you can keep doing laps and get a killer workout between the river and golf course. going west of la loma park is a bore. not enough singletracks with to many people.
