Soquel Demonstration Forest Mountain Bike Map

Description:
Soquel Demonstration Forest and The Forest of the Nisene Marks share a common boundary, similar topography and a plethora of evergreen trees. However, in some ways they couldn't be more different. Nisene Marks is largely defined by one major fire road. Soquel Forest is a playground of technical single-track mountain bike trails.

Beginners have one option...an out-and-back along Aptos Creek Fire Road. Advanced riders can combine a long fire road grind through Nisene Marks with the loop in Soquel or better yet, just ride the various Soquel loops all day.

The abundance of shade makes both areas great getaways on warm summer days. While big trees dominate the landscape, there are a few openings that afford great ocean views. But ultimately it's about the mountain biking. For advanced riders the Soquel forest is as good as it gets in the Bay Area.

Note: There have been some car break-ins near Soquel Demonstration Forest.
