Suicide Trail

  Add a review

Exit Kanan Rd. off the 101 Fwy and go north on Kanan about 2.7 mi. Turn right on Hollytree Dr. and enter Oak Canyon Park on your left. The bottom trailhead is at Oak Canyon Park. It's kind of hard to find but since it seems to be a popular hiking trail, you could probably ask around. You can either ride it up (expect to hike a bunch of sections) and then back down or if you prefer riding on your bike instead of hiking it, you can start off at the Palo Comado connector trailhead on Doubletree Rd., just east of Clear Haven Dr.. As the name implies, that trail will connect you to the Palo Comado Canyon Trail. Turn left when you get to Palo Comado and head north about 2.75 mi. When you get to a fork where the fire road continues to the right, take the left branch of the fork which is a singletrack. Shortly, you'll hit another fork with a signpost that says China Flat, take the left trail through a tree-covered area. At the next T-junction, again, take the left branch which is a slightly technical uphill climb. At the top, you'll see a gate down the trail, but before you reach this gate, you'll see a trail to the left that starts off with a short climb. Take that trail. About a few hundred feet, you'll see the drop-in onto Suicide Trail. You'll know it when you see it. At the bottom of Suicide Trail is Oak Canyon Park. Just follow the roads to exit the park onto Hollytree Dr. Turn left and ride down until you hit Doubletree Rd. where you'll make a another left which should take you back to the Palo Comado Connector trailhead.
