Problem on the Trail?

If you have had a recent conflict on the trail with other users or have encountered trail damage or closure, please go to our Online Incident Report page.

Workday Scheduling

Claudia Booth -- Adminclick to send EmailMVTrails.org, If you know of a local trail that needs work, please contact Claudia.

Note: Scheduled Work Days are always on a Saturday or a Sunday. But we do have some members who work on trails during the week. Contact Claudia at (530) 637-1682. She can put you in contact with someone in that group.

Add Trail work to your
2010 To-Do List

Trails that are not maintained are eventually closed and lost forever.

This New Years, why not resolve to spend at least 4 hours helping to clear a trail in the coming year? Future generations of trail users will thank you!

Got Photos?

If you have photos taken during a recent Trail Work Day event, please email them to the MVTA webmaster for use on this page. Group shots, individuals wielding trail tools, before/after shots of the trail, scenic views, whatever.

Sugar Pine Trail

The Sugar Pine Staging Area, at Winchester Drive and Placer Hills Rd., is located on property owned by the Christian Fellowship Church nearby.

It is a great privilege that the community is allowed to park there when using the Sugar Pine Trail. MVTA would like to thank everyone for being responsible with their trash and respectful of the land.

MVTA includes the Staging Area on its trail maintenance list and tries to keep the grass short, fallen tree debris cleared and trash picked up.

Esoteric Park Trail

While riding on the Esoteric Park Trails, please remember to keep your badge either visible or in a location where you can quickly display it at the request of the land stewards.

Don't have a badge yet? Members can obtain one, along with gate keys, by contacting Claudia: Adminclick to send EmailMVTrails.org,

Using this land for trail riding or hiking is a huge privilege for MVTA members. Remember, this is a non-motorized trail system: Only bicycles, horses, and humans on foot are allowed. You may drive your vehicle to the staging area within the property, but all motorized vehicles are limited to the staging area.

Hidden Falls Regional Park

Exciting news! The Environmental Impact Report and Use Permit were both adopted by the Planning Commission, opening the way to begin trail construction on the next phase of trail development.

MVTA is represented on the Hidden Falls Forum and we will update our members as new developments surface.

The preliminary schedule includes...

  • General flagging work starting February to April of 2010,
  • Clearing by volunteers May to June 2010,
  • Specific flagging Spring/Summer of 2010,
  • Excavation late Summer 2010,
  • Bridge and wall construction Fall/Winter of 2010, and
  • Final touches early 2011.

If this schedule can be kept to -- and we know how hard that is -- the new trails will be available sometime Mid/Late 2011.
