“Too Much Singletrack is Just Enough”
— Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship
Mount Hough and South Park
Mt. Hough Trail Network
Constructed by the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, the Mount Hough Trail Network consists of more than 50 miles of multi-use singletrack, with more currently under construction. Mt. Hough trail is the most popular trail in the network, with almost 4,000 vertical feet over 10 miles of flowy, fast singletrack and amazing dirt. Starting at 7,200 feet elevation above the emerald blue waters of Crystal Lake overlooking Genesee Valley, Mount Hough trail is fun for all ages and skill levels, featuring perfectly banked switchbacks, high-speed sections of trail with long sight lines, tabletop jumps for those who love air time and a perfect finish at a swimming hole on Spanish Creek.
Tollgate Creek, Indian Falls Ridge and Taylor Creek trails are new alignments providing variety and choices for shuttle runs.
All trails in the Mt. Hough network are on National Forest land, multi-directional and open to all trail uses.
Whether you shuttle with friends, shuttle with Yuba Expeditions or earn it the old-fashioned way by pedaling, the best way to the top is by taking Mount Hough Road (bumpy dirt road passable by car in summer months) from Quincy Junction/Chandler Road to the top. If you’re pedaling, keep left at the bottom of the singletrack at Oakland Camp, after crossing the railroad tracks, then head downhill on pavement to the swimming hole before the bridge over Spanish Creek on Oakland Camp Road, which is a great starting and ending point.
South Park Trail Network
A great cross-country style riding area with a few technical sections of narrow off-camber trail. Most of the trails in this area are old social build trails that have been adopted as system trails by the Plumas National Forest. With a different dirt composition and lower elevation than Mt. Hough, these trail remain ridable all year long. This trail network is non-motorized. It is ideal for entry level riders and quick rides.
