Trail Map

Other Names

Marysville, Yuba River, Yuba City, Riverfront, E-Street MX, MMX Racing

Last Known Status

Destroyed

This area at one time offered a network of sandy trails through the trees that dipped down to the banks of the river. It was a local sand lot, and dormant 80's MX track controlled and owned by Yuba County. In 2004 it was re-purchased by a private party and re-developed into a full fledged motocross park.

This Shad Pad review page remains for historical and informational purposes only. The new tracks that now operate at this location are E-Street MX and MMX Racing.
