A basic Auburn ride that can be added extended further into the recreation area. Good for laps, make sure you leave something in the tank for the Culvert downhill after the climb

This loop has been referred to as the Clementine Loop or Clemy Loop for a few decades.

This was a great loop. The climb is pretty ideal because most of it is paved, and pretty much the same grade all the way to the top. The ride down is fast and fun. The Culvert trail offers some great berms, jumps, and drops, meanwhile, the confluence trail is super scenic and a great way to finish the loop. I'm a beginner mountain biker and enjoyed most of it without being too nervous.I walked some of the steeper parts of the Culvert trail and some of the more exposed parts of the Confluence trail.

Parked at the kiosk and laid my 10$ Started at the trail right by it. Rode clementine up and connected to the rest of the trails. Climb was about an hour of wide hiking trails and half pavement. Nothing too steep. Got to the trail head and pointed the bike down for about 20 minutes. Well worth the climb. Trail starts flowy and fast with burms and switch backs. The second half features more rocks. Jumps scattered through out. I went during the rain so it was quite muddy. The day before was clear but had rained heavily the day before and conditions were perfect. The trail forks app was super accurate and helpful guiding me even with no phone signal.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
