Land Manager
Newest trail opened to MTB in the Montana de Oro. One of four trails south of Islay Creek open to biking.(Others include Beebee trail, Reservoir Flats trail and the Bluff trail) Approx 11 miles round trip, be prepared for some pedaling and a fun descent. Last .5 mile at the summit is steep and rocky, beginners be warned. Otherwise a fun trail for almost all riders. Great views. Be mindful of poison oak in sections.
Access Info
Trailhead is located just passed Spooners Cove. Park in the general area of the white ranch house, and pedal back passed the bath rooms toward the campground. Trailhead is on your right.

Easy blue with beautiful views. Only one short hill that I had to push my bike up at the very end. My son rode the whole way

Rode this yesterday and had an absolute blast. Nice long climb up, then turn around and enjoy a 5 mile flowy decent. It's marked as blue but I think it's a green.
I wouldn't even bother with the last .5 mile. There is a lookout just past the .5 mile sign that is a good turnaround spot.

Good conditions. Reasonable climb for all but the last half mile and then just a bit of hike a bike. Long mild descent back down.

Didn't make it all the way to the top, but a terrific climb up with nice views and mellow switchbacks. You can sit and spin if you want a mellow ride up, or flow back on the way down too!
I'd definitely recommend this as the next best choice behind Hazard Peak Trail.
