Local Trails

WCTA is working hard to bring quality mountain biking to the Southern Oregon Coast.  A small group of riders have been getting after it for years so we have a long list of areas that need cataloged.

Your best resource is downloading Trailforks or MTB Project for up-to-date conditions and maps on local trails. 

Please respect land holders, private property, and trails not open to mountain bikes.

Winchester Trails, Coos County Oregon

US Forest Service Trails, Curry County Oregon

WCTA has signed a cost-share agreement with USFS tin 2021 to start work on Forest Service trails including Hobson Horn, Game Lake Trail, Fritsche Cabin Trail, Snow Camp, et al.

  • Lower Rogue River Trail, Oregon
  • Pine Grove Trail, Oregon is a really fun 7 mile downhill shuttle ride that ends at the confluence of the Illinois and Rogue Rivers. Enjoy beers and food post-ride at Cougar Lane Lodge- lodging is also available in Agness. Our club has been actively maintaining and riding this route. Also fun on a moto!
  • Snow Camp-Windy Valley, Oregon – The club has been doing some brushing to help maintain this backcountry trail.
  • Fritsche Cabin Trail, Oregon– Steep shuttle downhill ride. Longer shuttle drive than Pine Grove, but super fun. Pair it with a Pine Grove Shuttle and you’ll be glad you can stop down in Agness for a beer and food!
  • Illinois River Trail, Oregon- You can ride this as an out-and-back before you reach the “Wilderness” designation zone (although who’s even checking any more?). Drive towards Oak Flat, park there and start your journey. Buzzards Roost is a good turn around point. Pick up a USFS map at the Gold Beach Ranger District.
  • Hobson Horn Trail, Oregon- This trail is on our list of “needs maintenance” and we will update the condition once we get some boots on the ground. This also has fire damage from the Oak Flats Fire.

Little Bald Hills, Del Norte County California

  • Little Bald Hills trail is located in the Redwood State Park and is a great shuttle/downhill ride.
  • It’s the only trail open to bikers in the Jed Smith area.

Trail Projects

USFS-WRCMBA Cost Share Agreement – Funding agreement has been pulled from the Trump Administration

In 2021 WRCMBA board members successfully negotiated a cost-share agreement with the USFS, Gold Beach-Powers Ranger District, which took us 4 years of trying to get completed. This means, as a club, we can actively start maintenance on USFS land for high-needs trails that we are loosing due to fires, lack of maintenance and funding, neglect, etc. in Curry County. Stay up to date by signing up for our newsletter to receive updates on trail maintenance days. This was a big success for the club, but now with the current administration pulling all funding and cost-share agreements from public lands, we are in a standstill again.

Whiskey Run Trail Maintenance

WCTA has formed a list of upcoming Spring 2025 Trail Work Parties. Be sure to add them to your calendar to help show some trail-love!
