China Camp Mountain Biking Trails
About 30 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, and only 3 miles outside of San Rafael, China Camp offers some of Marin's best Mountain Biking and singletrack bike trails. The trails are some of the best in the Bay Area for beginner and intermediate riders to tackle singletrack trails, and they also serve up a few challenges even for more experienced riders. The trails and loops posted here are great for Beginner and Intermediate riders. The views of San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay, and the surrounding mountains and bridges are spectacular. On weekends, plan to encounter hikers and moderate mountain bike traffic, but all in all the trails are well worth the trip.
To help orient you on any of the MarinFatTire rides or any other web site's rides, we recommend that you bring a China Camp Mountain Bike Trail Map. While the map doesn't show you many of the branches and available trails, it provides a great overview of the area and some of the major intersections.
Note: Don't be deterred by the many turns on some of the China Camp loops. If you travel counterclockwise, then all trails to the left will lead you back down to San Pedro Road. Use these as guides, but just go out and explore and have fun!
