Trail Description
Winchester trails are used primarily by mtn. bikers and motorized trail bikers. The trails challenge even the best of riders. There are lots of ruts, roots, steeps and other obstacles on the 30 miles of winding singletrack.
The trail system is a web of trails which can be ridden alone or linked with gravel roads. Use map to explore or follow markers. Some suggested rides include Hanz and Franz (both start at the parking lot and receive more maintenance). Also, there is a mountain bike race held here every September. The course starts on Hanz then goes to Franz, 102, Westside Rd., WipeCo., Ridge Rd., Elk Point, Skyline, Winchester Rd., and reverse way on Hanz to finish.
Note- some trails are directional (ridden one-way).
Please don’t ride the trails when wet-Thanks!
Winchester Trails were built and are maintained by the South Coast Trail Riders (motorcycle) Assoc. The land the trails are on is owned by Coos County and managed by their Forestry Dept.
