WHITETHORN, Calif.  —  A mountain bike skills park in the Bureau of Land Management King Range National Conservation Area (NCA) will be undergoing important maintenance from Monday, Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. The BLM is asking riders to avoid the Tolkan Terrain Park while work is underway to enhance the riding experience for enthusiasts.

“This project is important to ensure that the features of the terrain park are in top shape for riders,” said Paul Sever, manager of the King Range NCA. “The 25 miles of mountain bike trails on Paradise Royale and Pacific Rim trail network will remain available during the project.”

The King Range NCA offers a wide variety of hiking and camping ranging from the Lost Coast wilderness trail to high elevation hiking routes offering spectacular Pacific Ocean vistas. A planning guide provides important information on visiting.

The King Range NCA encompasses 68,000 acres along 35 miles of California’s north coast. It is the Nation’s first NCA, designated in 1970. The King Range NCA’s Douglas fir-covered peaks attract hikers and hunters, while the coast beckons to surfers and anglers. World-class mountain bike trails, and 42,585 acres of coastal wilderness are two of the highlights of this incredibly unique area.
