Our Programs and Projects
Town-to-Trail Work
Our primary objective is to help Auburn, CA embrace its identity as a vibrant trail town and premier biking destination. Through grassroots efforts, we are trying to establish better trail and bike infrastructure, town-to-trail connectivity, and pedestrian routes in and around town that can promote safe, fun, and active transportation for all users.
Auburn Bike Park
We are the proud non-profit sponsor of the Auburn Bike Park, a kid- and family-friendly bike park and pump track operated by the Auburn Area Recreation and Park District (ARD). Auburn Bike Park offers riders of all ages an opportunity to improve their bike-handling skills on a dirt terrain, improving balance, coordination, and strength, all while building self-confidence and having fun!
Auburn Bike Month
In 2024 we launched Auburn Bike Month for our awesome active and bike loving town. Throughout the month of May, our community joined us for in-person events and participated in various challenges to win prizes. We can’t wait for May 2025 and we hope you’ll encourage friends and family to get outside and enjoy our beautiful town during one of the best months of the year.
Auburn Bike Valet
We offer a FREE bike valet service.
As part of our mission to help make Auburn more bike friendly, we’re happy to provide safe and convenient valet bicycle parking for Auburn’s community events, at no cost to the bicyclists.

Auburn State Recreation Area (ASRA)
Park information, reservations, news, and directions
Auburn State Recreation Area is a popular destination for hikers riders within the greater Sacramento Area. It boasts a little bit of everything, from the smooth flowing singletrack of the Foresthill Divide Trail to the loose chunk and screaming speed of Rocky. Busy days lead to a surprising amount of hiker and biker traffic on many of these trails. Keep your head on a swivel and be courteous to those around you.
