Mendota Trail

Dogs Leashed

Features River/Creek

To access this great trail, take advantage of the free parking down by the Sibley House in Mendota. Hike toward private property at end of pavement and take the underpass to the trailhead. The trail appears to go both directions, but the way to the north is steep and does not appear to extend for very long. The trail to south is relatively flat and can be very wet, especially after rains, due to the proximity to the river.

The trail continues about 6 miles from start to finish if you follow it straight through. Your way will be partly to mostly shaded. Some areas are wider, while others narrow down toward singletrack size. This trail is also used by bikes so be aware of cyclists that may be coming up behind you. Beware also of blocked sight lines, and use appropriate caution when moving around blind corners.

There are a few options to branch off here and there but it seems to all feed back into the same main trail line.

Trees, grass, birds, squirrels, turtles, deer.
