Just as a reminder... the El Dorado trail head at Forni Road will be closed starting May 9, 2018.
The County is actively developing this trail within the old Michigan/California Railroad right-of-way. The old railroad ran from Placerville east through Smith Flat and up to Camino. The first 2 miles of this trail corridor through Placerville has been developed by the city and is used by many residents and visitors. The county constructed a trailhead in Smith Flat and a bridge over Highway 50 that allows trail users access to another 4 miles of trail to Los Trampos in Camino Heights.
A new section of the trail is scheduled for construction from Los Trampos to Halcon in the fall of 2018. The trail is proposed to continue with the new Camino interchange which trail will connect to the National Pony Express Trail Route and the proposed Sacramento-Placerville Rail Trail, which ultimately links the communities of South Lake Tahoe and the Sacramento Valley region.
Western El Dorado County offers many bike opportunities for visitors and locals. Click here to get more information on El Dorado County bike routes: http://www.eldoradobikemap.org/
