Cement Creek Road is one of many 4x4 trails in the Knoxville Recreation Area just outside of Napa, CA. Mountains, valleys, creeks and mud are a few things you might enjoy in this area. You will find some incredible views of the rolling hills and green farmland in the Pope Valley and surrounding mountain ranges. From the right spot (waypoint 4), you will even see Mount Saint Helena in the distant north end of the Napa Valley.

Fun trail for beginners. Brought my stock forester out there, stock ground clearance and tire are ok on this trail. Remember to air down especially stock HT tires, they are pretty thin and will poke easily with normal tire pressure (and will ride better on trails after airing down). Experienced deep ruts between waypoint 2 and 3, but seems my stock height can manage that.
Stoped at waypoint 3 due to the early sunset in winter. If you want to explore more, definitely need to come in the morning.
We took a couple ZR2s, one Chevy Colorado and one Chevy Tracker, all over in Knoxville and had a great time. There are a lot of trails in this area. Not much for rock crawling, but fun for lesser built 4x4 rigs.
Connected to this trail from Knoxville Devilhead Trail. Road was in good condition with just one passable muddy spot. Large turn around near the gate at the end of the trail.
