South Fork ART (American River Trail)

Dogs Unknown

E-Bikes Unknown

Trail start is at the Skunk Hollow SP Parking lot with an alternate start at the Acorn Creek Trail (less climbing if you start here). Beginning of trail is steep and very rocky switchback trail unless you use the AC Trailhead.

This cross country trail has a mix of temperate zones. It's about 70% singletrack and 30% fire road. The trail is rolling singletrack with a few flat riding areas - you're usually always climbing or descending. It's very scenic and remote for a foothills ride with no visible homes, roads or signs of civilization for most of the ride.

It's really no easier or harder in either direction, making it a fine out and back.
