Trail Information

Highlights

Old Cottonwood Trail is a short, but enjoyable trail in Hungry Valley SVRA (State Vehicular Recreation Area). Hungry Valley is just outside of the Gorman and Frazier Park mountain communities in Southern California. Over 130 miles of motorcycle, ATV and 4x4 trails spiderweb throughout this 19,000 acre park. The park's trails include hill climbs, sand washes, wide dirt trails, narrow off-camber shelf roads and a designated 4 wheel drive practice area.

Temporary closure. Hungry Valley SVRA remains closed due to extensive damage from the recent storms. The campgrounds have been cleared of debris. Work is underway to reopen the park as soon as it is safe.

Hungry Valley is currently temporarily closed due to a number of mud slides after the series of rain storms that passed through last week.
