| Other Names | Livermore, Tracy, Corral Hollow Creek, Carnegie Cycle Park |
| Last Known Status | Temporarily Closed (This park reaches capacity during most weekends. To receive real-time notifications with current status text ‘OHV’ to (662) 200-4303.) |
This large offroad park offers a wide variety of trails, a number of motocross tracks for all skill levels, a 4x4 area with man made obstacles, motorcycle trials area and some incredibly steep hill climbs. All areas are marked, and the trails range from novice to expert.
There is a fully developed staging area with loading ramps, covered picnic tables and vault toilets, plus a designated campground with 25 sites available on a first-come, first served basis. Each site comes with a shade gazebo, picnic table, trash can and fire ring. Amenities include coin operated showers (quarters required) and flush toilets. Recent additions include an electric 110-charging station for cars and motorcyces that is located near the ranger station.
Moto Mart is the onsite general store that sells parts, gear, burgers, cold beverages, bagged ice and firewood. The store also has an air compressor that is available during business hours.
There is strict enforcement of the rules at the gate and throughout the ride area so even if you have an older bike you must have a Forest Service approved spark arrestor. Traffic is moderate to heavy during regular and three day holiday weekends.
