Current Trail Proposals

Southern Mono Trail System Proposal

Mono County seeks to create a beautiful contoured looping trail network of 50+- miles connecting the Lower Rock Creek trail to Mammoth Lakes. The long-range goal is 95% new trail, not the signing of forest roads and jeep trails. In some circumstances a forest road may be used, and that use will not infringe on the existing motorized use. Social trails may be included when necessary but not a priority. Because of the scope of the project, we predict social trails will be put to rest naturally.

It is important to connect every asset (resorts, businesses, trailheads, campgrounds, parks, communities, etc.) along the way on both sides of highway 395. 

Two current proposals we are hoping to legalize.  These are: 1) Toms Place to Lower Rock Creek trail connector and 2) Hilton Creek trailhead to FS Road 4S137.  Both of these trails are long time social trails, receive a fair amount of useage, have zero maintenance, and could be a start to future loop systems.
