Flow Trail Segment 1 is a 1.08-mile mountain biking route in The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in California, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is an out-and-back with a total length of about 2.2 miles, rising from a low point of 1,635 feet to a high of 2,031 feet, a climb of 387 feet. It is rated moderate. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 80°F with only about four wet days, and October highs near 83°F with similar dry weather. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The Braille Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Flow Trail Segment 2 and Ridge Trail are within half a mile. Soquel Creek, about 2 miles off, offers paddling.
