Mountain Biking Lake Hodges

****   Add a review
#26 of 1,004 mountain bike trails in California
#521 in the world

Once on the trail you have many choices on which way to go. Best route is to take the first climb and follow it around the mountain. You will have many opportunities to break left but wait for about a mile and a half for the decent that goes into the woods. This singletrack is shotgunned with ruts, rocks and a stream crossing. Once across the 10 foot wide stream pay attention and break on the first left which will follow the stream for about a mile with some awesome singletrack with big rocks drops and log jumps. Once you get out of the woods take the right up a very rocky climb and keep to the right for some good jumps and then follow the trails around the lake and then loop back and do it all again. You can average about 20mph on the way back. Enjoy
