Description:
Somehow I made it through eight years living in the Bay Area without experiencing this North Bay gem. I won't be making that mistake in the future. Annadel State Park offers countless miles of challenging-but-not-too-challenging single-track through remarkably diverse and beautiful terrain. The fun quotient is huge, with long, mostly single-track loops possible without the usual killer climbs.

While Annadel is an intermediate rider's dream, advanced riders will still have fun. In fact, before the park was "upgraded" and legalized in the mid-90s, Annadel was known for its gnarly boulder-strewn downhills. Rocks are still prevalent, providing ample technical challenges and sometimes bone-jarring descents.

Annadel is a popular park where hikers, bikers and equestrians have maintained a fragile peace. Please ride with care and respect other users.
