Chalk Bluff (Burlington Ridge)
This area is located on Hwy 20 and is accessible either via Grass Valley/Nevada City or
Interstate 80. The Grass Valley route is 8-10 miles shorter but the directions are easier
to give for the I-80 route. Take I-80 past Emigrant Gap, take the Hwy 20 exit going back
towards Nevada City/Marysville. As soon as you take the exit, check your odometer and
proceed 8.8 miles and take a fairly sharp right turn onto gravel Rd 20/16 through an
unlocked green gate. This is the 'Last Chance Mine Rd' but is unmarked. The campsite is
0.2 miles in a clearing on the right. This spot should hold 8 rigs or so with more camping
available about 0.1 miles further up the road on the left if necessary. The primary OHV
staging area is located 2.9 miles further up Hwy 20 on the left. The main staging area
does not allow overnight camping, but does have maps and restroom facilities. This area
offers miles and miles of nice, tight single-track and logging/mining type roads. Note
that all the trails and roads may be accessed with non street legal bikes. Quads will have
good riding on the dirt roads. Chas has extra maps of the trail system.
