Trails at Fort Ord

There are 83 miles of trail at Fort Ord that are open for Hiking, Biking, and equestrian use. All trails are multi-use trails, meaning all three user groups can be on any trail at Fort Ord.

...Proper trail courtesy at Fort Ord is that all bikers yield to equestrians and hikers.

All open trails are marked and numbered. All unmarked trails are unavailable for public use. Iiiegal trail use is damaging to sensitive habitats and is costly to repair. Some trails are not marked open because they cross rare plant and animal habitats, others are redundant or can not be maintained in their current location. 44 different species of endangered and rare plants and animals live here - trail planning protects them and their habittat for future generations. Trails that are named and on green signs are generally wider more stable routes. Trails that are numbered 30 and above and on brown signs are generally single track trails.
