Starting from a fork in the Foresthill Divide Trail, this trail continues downhill along narrow, smooth singletrack with a short climb in the middle and more gradual downhill back to Lower Clementine Rd. This one is a blast!

Took it out and back to and from Forresthill loop. After 14 miles the ride back wasn't bad when the legs are burning.

The Lake Natoma trail has many little turnouts and stub trails where the state park has placed picnic tables. A perfect place for a picnic with the kids! Always a beautiful view too.
