Closest Major City: Placerville

Distance: 9.00 miles (14.48 KM)

Description:
This ride goes around Jenkinson Lake / Sly Park campground. Small cozy lake with State park campgrounds, scenic. Don't let the elevation fool you since it contains abrupt ups and downs. Good trail conditions. You can opt out for the pavement if the trail is too much. Recommend following trail counterclockwise.

Directions to the trail:
East on US50. Exit Sly Park Road. Turn right and just after the Sly Park campground on the left, turn left at the Mormon Emigrant trail. This will take you across two dams. Park after the second dam and the trailhead is on the lake to your right.
