**During the winter months, the American River OHV system may be closed after
periods of heavy rain when soil moisture levels would likely result in trail

China Wall is used as a staging area in summer by 2-wheeled OHV dirt bikes and
motorcycles. The trail is not wide enough to accommodate quad OHV's. In the
winter China Wall is a staging area for snowmobiles, cross-country skiers, and
snowshoe users. When there is snow on the ground it is an easy place for kids
to play in the snow, but there are no designated sledding hills.

Beginning fall of 2020, the Sugar Pine Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) **Wet Weather
Management Plan** will be implemented for OHV Roads and Trails on American
River Ranger District. This will increase OHV riding opportunities by adopting
a more flexible open/close strategy for riding in Foresthill CA. This soil-
moisture condition-based approach will help Trail Managers determine when
existing OHV roads and trails should be opened or closed in the Sugar Pine
Motorized Trail System area. The associated operating plan will minimize
resource damage caused by travel during wet weather periods. The removal of
the fixed wet weather seasonal closure dates are expected to reduce future
