SavePrimarily a purpose-built mountain bike trail system managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
The mountain biking trails are accessed on the south side of the main South Fork Road, via the Fall Creek Trailhead. Hiking trails are accessed on the north side of the main road, either via the campground or the day-use area. There is one multi-use trail open to bikes on the north side of the road between the campground and day-use.
Currently the main mountain biking loop is 1900ft of descent over 5 miles with a 10-mile loop back to the parking lot. With alternate routes and other lines, total trail length stands at about 12 miles. Trail styles range from sustainable bench-cut trail to rolling flow trail to freeride. There is a lot of smooth natural tread with some exposed root features. The most difficult trails feature rocks and jumps, some of which are blind and should be scouted beforehand. Difficulty is in the beginner to advanced range, with the most difficult trails being higher up in elevation.
Hiking / running trails on the north side are mostly narrow natural bench-cut trails, with some steep options going up the ridge and down on the other side of the south fork of the Alsea River. The best hike is a 2-mile out-and-back to Green Peak Falls that will take you through the McBee campground.
