Single Tracks of Baker Canyon

Mountain Biking
Single Tracks of Baker Canyon
Enjoy riding in the wilderness on empty trails? Then join us on a docent-led mountain bike ride that loops through Baker Canyon. The route features expansive views of Silverado and Santiago Canyons, Irvine Lake and the Santa Ana Mountains, as well as the flora and fauna of the Black Star Canyon Wilderness Park. This is a great opportunity to enjoy this seldom visited wilderness area of Orange County!
This ride is designed for the experienced beginner to intermediate rider who is physically fit and can climb moderate climbs of up to one mile and is comfortable riding single track trails with some short/beginner technical sections. The ride is on largely non-technical single track trails and the fire roads that interconnect them. The ride will regroup and rest as needed and an opportunity will be provided for a snack break.
Please note, the ride is approximately 10 miles long with 1500 feet of elevation gain. The route has climbs with some moderately steep sections.
This activity originates and ends at the Baker Canyon Staging Area and takes place in OC Parks’ Black Star Canyon Wilderness Park.
