Todd Valley Trail

 

The Todd Valley Trail is built along the seasonal Todd Creek and extends 1.3 miles through the center of Todd Valley, near Foresthill, CA.  The trail is part of the historic Western States Trail and is open to hikers, equestrians and mountain bikes. This is a Placer County trail and is very easy to access and traverse.  Parking is available on Todd Valley Road near Green Leaf Lane.  Things to see and do – a nice cool trail, tadpole and frog gathering, wildlife.   Things to watch out for – poison oak.

 

This trail is lightly used and is a great place to take the kids for a hike or a horse ride.  The trail starts near the intersection of Todd Valley Road and Green Leaf Lane and travels along Todd Creek to Happy Pines Drive, near Dahlberg Ct.  About halfway through is a grassy area known as the “park” and allows access to the trail from Silverleaf Drive, near Parkwood Court.  Trail improvements have been made by the Foresthill Trails Alliance, working closely with Placer County.  In particular, trail “burritos” were added near Todd Valley Road to reduce the marsh area of the trail during the winter.  No motorized vehicles of any kind are allowed on the trail.
