The Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) encompasses more than 1,300 acres of diverse terrain in the hills between eastern Alameda and western San Joaquin counties. This state-operated facility features an extensive network of over 80 miles of pathways, multiple motocross circuits, and 4x4 obstacles distributed throughout its landscape. The park's terrain consists of rolling hillsides, dry rocky creek beds, and steep rugged ravines that provide hill climbing opportunities and panoramic vistas. The riding areas are divided into two categories: open riding zones and designated trail-only sections within Resource Management Areas, accommodating riders of varying skill levels.
The park maintains basic facilities including access points and on-site camping accommodations for extended visits. Riders should be aware that the clay-based soil composition requires closures following precipitation, which can impact riding schedules. Summer conditions bring intense heat and dusty environments, while peak periods often result in crowded trails. The terrain offers opportunities to observe local wildlife, and day-use areas provide rest spaces between riding sessions. Carnegie SVRA serves as a functional off-highway vehicle destination in Northern California, providing access to varied terrain types and riding experiences across its rolling hills and canyon systems.Dirt Bike Trail System
