Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area

This is one of 3 SVRA's that are reasonably accessible from the Bay Area with a variety of terrains, difficulties and opportunities to have some serious fun along the way. This places is definitely your more drier/dustier type conditions, so the best time to go is after there's been a little rain which dampens the dusty and turns the dirt into perfect grip. Other than that the main benefit of this place is the huge hill climbs and plenty of off-trail riding you can do. Great place to bring the kids with lots of open areas to ride and decent camping.

If you like to ride in the dirt and you haven't been there you have got to go there are endless trails every size Hill you can ask for. there's a couple of Motocross tracks , just anything and everything you could ask for. The people who use the facility were friendly and willing to give me a hand if i needed it

Lots of technical and steep terrain. Also plenty of basic fire roads and everything in between. If you get good riding here most other places will be much easier by comparison.

Love taking my kids dirt biking there. The rangers are friendly and park is well cared for!
