Description
Located in Annadel State Park, Cobblestone Loop has some of the best singletrack riding in the Bay Area. It is is highly technical due to the imbedded rocks in the trail. Combine this with plenty of trees and some steep climbing and this is a ride that you'll never forget. If you love technical singletrack, don't miss out on this one.

Turn-by-turn mileage log

Directions
In Santa Rosa, from Highway 101, take Highway 12. When the freeway section ends (about 2 miles), turn left at the light onto Farmers Lane (this is still Hwy 12). Go about 1 mile and turn right on Fourth (this is also still Hwy 12). Go 3.4 miles and turn right onto Los Alamos Rd. Comes to a T. Turn right on Melita towards Annadel State Park and Spring Lake Park. Go ½ mile and turn left on Channel Drive. The parking area will be about ½ mile on the left.

Comment
This is some of the best singletrack in the SF Bay Area. Some of it is a quite technical, but most of it isn't too bad. Get ready to be challenged.
