The Santa Ana River Trail (SART) has three main segments of luscious Mountain Bike Singletrack.

There is also Sugarloaf Mountain and the Wildhorse Trail that can be ridden above Southfork.
You can ride any part separately or link them all together for one of the most amazing descents in the world!
