The Pinochle Creek Trail is a 16-mile route that offers a dynamic riding experience for dirtbike riders, ranging from easy in dry conditions to very difficult during wet weather. The trail's terrain is a blend of hard-packed ground, loose dirt, rocks, and trees. Riders should be prepared for large mud bogs and deep water crossings after rain, which may require a winch. The trail is best suited for intermediate riders, with some beginner terrain available.
This is a multi-use trail system, part of the Chickaloon-Knik-Nelchina Trail, that allows all vehicle types with no width restrictions. The trail is marked but unmaintained. Camping is permitted in some areas.Dirt Bike Trail System
