Cameron Park Trail System

Cameron Park's renowned trail system twists and turns through layers of pristine natural areas. Nearly 20 miles of trails suit everyone from casual hikers to mountain bike extremists.

The daring can rip down trails like "Ho Chi Minh" and the "Thor, Babbler, Bat Cave" trio, or the sane can leisurely stroll through vines and bamboo along "California 56." Each trail is named and marked for difficulty, and all interwine into beautiful maze.

The trails showcase the local ecosystem with bird-filled limbs above and natural growth all around.

"There is nothing like this anywhere else in the country."
