Recreation Information 


Hikes In Jackson Forest

During 2000-2003, Nancy McCarthy created and led a number of hikes in Jackson Forest. Descriptions and maps of these hikes are now available at www.MendoWalks.org , thanks to Michael Potts.

Camping and Recreation Maps

Available here are maps of east and west sections of Jackson State Forest, showing roads and camping sites. Most camp sites are in the Camp One area.

Camping in Jackson Forest is free. The maximum uninterrupted stay is two weeks.

Guided Bike Rides


Off-road bike enthusiasts are invited to come and enjoy the gorgeous trails and redwoods of Jackson State Forest.

Local bikers are generously sharing their knowledge of its many miles of biking trails -- both single and double track, some moderate, some challenging, some difficult climbs, and some very rutted descents. They will be happy to take groups of up to 15-20 on either beginning, intermediate, or advanced rides, depending on who shows up.
