Interface Recreation Trails

Thursday, May 9, 2024

Other Names

Calaveras Ranger District, Stanislaus National Forest, Interface Trails, White Pines OHV

Last Known StatusOpen

This secluded area offers mostly moderate ATV and motorcycle-only trails through the woods. The trails are well maintained but the single track woods trails can get extremely dusty in the summer.

Most of the terrain is moderately challenging but there are also a handful of expert level motorcycle trails.

The staging areas are primitive and offer no amenities, so come prepared. Nearby White Pines Lake recreation area has swimming and restrooms with some very nice picnic areas along the shoreline.

The main loop is smooth, wide, and easy.  Most of the woods trails shoot off from this main loop.
