Downie River Trail
Trail 10E02 near Sailor Ravine Spur (0505-002), Tahoe National Forest, near Downieville, CA
About this trail
Downie River Trail follows a wooded river corridor north of Downieville, passing water, forested slopes and remnants of the area's mining history. The pin identifies the southern end of the mapped motorized trail 10E02 near Sailor Ravine Spur, not an address in Alleghany. Vehicle access is not uniform: the lower section is designated for all vehicle types, but the northern continuation is motorcycle-only. Larger vehicles must turn back before that change; use the current Forest Service map rather than assuming the entire river trail is drivable. The current map lists normal seasonal use from April 1 through December 31, subject to closures and conditions. Respect mining claims, private parcels and posted signs. Original river and forest-path photos depict historical visits and do not establish current clearance or passability.
