General Creek Fire Road

Overview

The General Creek trailhead is located inside the Sugar Pine State Park campground and was the location of several 1960 Winter Olympic cross country and biathlon events. There are a number of historical markers located along the trail. The trailhead is an unmarked dirt road, closed to vehicles, that begins next to Campsite #150.<br><br>From the trailhead, the road leads west along the north bank of General Creek. Several bridge crossings over the creek are located along the trail allowing for a pleasant loop trip. At the upper part of the trail, you'll reach the upper footbridge. From there you can cross over the footbridge and follow the road back east to the trailhead, or turn right onto the General Creek Trail as it heads toward the Desolation Wilderness.
