Access: The trail system is
located 12 mi. south of Coos Bay on Hwy. 101.
At milepost 251, park on the right
side (on the gravel) just prior to an uphill with a passing lane. Trail Description: Winchester trails are used primarily by
mountain bikers and motorcycles. The
trails challenge even the best of riders.
There are lots of ruts, roots, steep terrain, and other obstacles on the 30
miles of winding single track. The trail system is a web of trails which can be ridden
alone or linked with gravel roads. Use
the map to explore or follow markers. Some
suggested rides include Hanz and Franz (both start at the parking lot and
receive more maintenance). Also, there is a mountain bike race held here
every September. The course
starts on Hanz then goes to Franz, 102, Westside Rd., WipeCo., Ridge Rd.,
Elk Point, Skyline, Winchester Rd., and reverse way on Hanz to finish. Note: Some trails are directional (one-way)! Please don’t ride the trails when wet! Winchester Trails were
built and are maintained by the South Coast Trail Riders (motorcycle)
Assoc. The land the trails are on is owned by Coos County and managed by
their Forestry Dept. For more information, trail conditions and maps contact:
