Knoxville OHV

I did. Entered OHV park on the south side coming from Lake Berryessa. All of the creeks leading up to the park are dry. The road leading up to the park was really rough for those in Jeep's and decided to air down off the side of the road. Took Devilshead Road to Cement Creek Rd which ended up on an outlook where we had lunch. Past this point, Cement gets narrow and leads to a dead end. Backtracked to the entrance, and there's a road that leads below to the left bathrooms and picnic area. If you continue on the road to the right, the trail will lead to the north entrance point of the park. It was good considering every other OHV park was closed but I didn't see a lot of offshoot trails. Most of those were gated which I was told by BLM that those are gates that someone broke the locks on that lead to private gates.

 

Was it worth the drive? I was thinking about checking it out.

 

How far are you? I am in Santa Cruz so it was a drive for me but it was the only thing open during that time. I'm closer to Hollister Hills/Carnegie which are now both open. I would do those over Kmoxville, but if its the closest location to you, its worth doing once for the views.

 

I live in Fairfield so it’s not far for me. I camped at the pinnacles two weeks ago and I didn’t know that Hollister was that close

 

Just went out to Knoxville with a buddy and had a blast. It was definitely muddy, but not as bad as I've seen it a few years ago. There was a good amount of mud and puddles, but as per usual, also a lot of dead plants ready to strip your paint. I got to use the winch for the first time, and the traction boards definitely made an appearance too.

 

Was thinking of heading out there Sunday with a buddy, but forecast is rain. Still advisable/fun? Thanks!

 

I went out last week and it was misty/drizzling. Didn’t have any problems, although with rain, it’d probably be a lot different on the trails- muddy. I think if you’re up for a muddy run and have a 4x4 to handle it, you should be good!

 

Thank you! Will report back. Any best trail suggestions for stock rigs/most rewarding views?

 

We started from the North entrance and went all the way through, eventually leading us out the South entrance. The drive from the north - south entrances have nice views pretty much every mile. Really well maintained trail too.
