Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area

Spring of 2018, entrance fee was 5 dollars. Trails are mostly in the hills and they have race/practice tracks etc. Some of the single track is truly single track. I haven't been in the summer but I've never been when it was annoyingly packed. trails are suited best for 125cc and below. There are some hill climbs. I lost it on a drop off and took about 1 hour to get the bike back on the trail and not one person came by the whole time so you can find a place to sit on the trail and relax. They have a parts house and food (cooked). Considering the distance to the bay area it may be the best deal in the area.

Its a GREAT place for the entire family to enjoy themselves. Whether you ride or don't, there is plenty of events to attend that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Myself and two friends attended the Nitro National Hill Climbs. One of the gals had never been on a bike and loved her first experience watching the Pros climb the steep hill right in front of us as we sat on the benches provided.

Went for first experience ever on a 250. Have to say great place. Had no problems on a Friday with two way trails that were nicely maintained. Dumped the bike a ton and all the riders were hella cool and patient. The store had just about everything for a problem and prices were fair. A ton of 1 track technical trails and some easy wide greens. I would say Hollister is more begginers and green friendly. The only criticism I would have is on the camping, it's a small square with a grill. Some have lockers but I would go early on the weekends for those for lockup ability. All in all... I came away battered brused and after 5 straight hours of riding still I am loving the hell out of this place. Def go!
