Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District

West County Trail/West County Trail Access

Take a stroll or ride your mountain bike along an abandoned railway line east of Highway 116 near Forestville. You can stop at local markets to pick up fresh produce and drinks along the way. With its relatively flat terrain, this paved trail makes for easy riding, roller-skating, or jogging, and it provides stunning views of the farms, vineyards and open land. Maintained by its owner, County Regional Parks, the District retains an easement to protect the conservation values along the trail. The area is especially beautiful in fall and spring. For horseback riders, an unpaved equestrian trail runs parallel to the paved trail. The District was able to acquire a trailhead just off First Street in Forestville and most recently assisted Regional Parks, through its Matching Grant Program, in developing an additional trailhead off of Ross Station Road.
