Henry Coe State Park Mountain Bike Trail Map Guide to the best mountain bike trails in the northern section of Henry Coe State Park
Area Summary Location: Half hour's drive east of Morgan Hill Best For: Advanced riders Suitable For: Advanced intermediates and better Ground Cover: Open grasslands, chaparral, oak woodlands Seasons: Fall through spring. Often extremely hot in summer. Trails closed briefly after heavy rains. Call (408) 779-2728 for conditions. If you like remote, strenuous mountain biking with lots of technical single-track and you're willing to drive a ways to find it, Henry Coe State Park is just the place. California's second-largest state park, Henry Coe sports decidedly rugged terrain in a semi-open, mixed woodlands setting. Beginners should steer clear, but if you're up for the challenge, Coe offers thrilling riding in the wildest setting anyplace in the Bay Area. The park's northern section, which includes a developed campground and visitors center, features the Middle Ridge Loop, a classic Coe ride that should be on any advanced intermediate rider's "must do" list. The single-track is beautiful and challenging, but the payback is a nasty climb up from Poverty Flat to end the ride. The China Hole Trail, featured in ride 2, is an easier alternative with moderately technical and well graded single-track through oak woodlands and chaparral. The featured rides are great starting points, but Coe begs to be explored, with miles of fire roads and single-track crisscrossing its vast expanse. Hit the campgrounds for a spring weekend to get more riding "bang" for your driving "buck" and you'll get to experience the best Coe has to offer.
