The best MTB trails around Geyserville

An incredibly beautiful road. Lots of vineyards and rolling hills. Lots of wineries to stop at for picnic lunch.

Nestled in Alexander Valley, the Jimtown Store is a must-visit landmark and café. This quirky little restaurant and shop offers a vintage atmosphere that feels like a step back in time. The back patio is perfect for a simple lunch while exploring the nearby wineries.

This quiet and scenic paved route is a beautiful ride through the Dry Creek Valley, which has a rich history of winemaking dating back to the mid-1800s. Settlers like Samuel O. Heaton and Andrew J. Galloway planted various grape varieties, and Swiss immigrant Charles Dunz established the Laurel Hill Winery, later renamed the Frei Winery, which survived Prohibition. There are plenty of wineries to visit, making it an excellent addition to a fantastic loop ride through this scenic countryside.

The Lake Sonoma Recreation Area has miles and miles of maintained trails, but not all the trails are open to bikes. If you just want something quick and easy, the safest option in the park is the Half-a-Canoe Loop, which brushes right up next to the water right here. Note that the trails are closed to bikes during the winter/wet season (usually November to April). There is a small beach area with a few big shade trees just off the side of the path. The water is part of a cove of the great 2,700-acre reservoir. With over 50 miles of shoreline, Lake Sonoma is a great place to experience the woods and the water, all while being able to find some solitude.

The West Dry Creek Road is a quiet, paved gem of a back road in wine country. This picturesque, peaceful road is a favorite cycling route among locals that winds through the stunning Dry Creek Valley, offering an ideal setting for a delightful picnic among the many vineyards in the area.

The height of this bridge above the creek bottom is 355 ft, and it allows the crossing from the east end. The views from the bridge are incredible on both sides.

Very close to the South Lake Trail, here you'll have excellent views of Rattlesnake Island, a round island located in the Warm Springs arm of Lake Sonoma.

This is a beautiful overlook of Lake Sonoma from an elevated wooden platform. This is a very scenic location with good views down over both arms of the lake, the dam, and Warm Springs Creek Bridge.
