Flow Trail Segment 4

Flow Trail Segment 4 is a short, moderate mountain biking route in Soquel Demonstration State Forest in California, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The segment is an out-and-back ride of about half a mile, with a low point of 1,228 feet and a high of 1,340 feet, a climb of about 100 feet one way. 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 roughly 900 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The Tractor Trail hike and Flow Trail Segment 5 both start about 0.1 mile away, and Flow Trail Segment 6 is about 0.2 mile off. Soquel Creek, a paddling spot, lies about 2 miles away.
