This double black diamond downhill trail for full suspension bikes with at least 5 inches of travel. It follows the Willow Creek down from the high country above Bass Lake, California. This is one long adrenalin rush from top to bottom and you dare not take your thoughts off of the trail ahead. I recommend this trail to advanced riders ...

This trail starts at the south end of Bass Lake, Ca at the intersection of Rd. 274 and Central Camp Rd. and is best done on a long travel full suspension bike. There is a parking area here next to the water flume that feeds Bass Lake from the snow melt. There are three sections of this trail as it ...

After leaving the parking lot, ride down to Jackson-Big Sandy Rd. and turn left (east) proceed ...

The weather in Fish Camp is very nice in the summer as it is at least 10* cooler than around Bass Lake. Do not forget to bring your camera and ...

The easiest way to get here is to follow State Rt. 41 north from Oakhurst about 5 miles until you see a sign of a hiker on the right. This is the parking area for the trail. Follow the trail down to ...
