Rural and Backcountry Trails

Campbell Grading Inc. was selected to design and construct the new multi-use (equestrian, hikers, runners, and mountain bikers) trail, which added a new section to the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The trail runs from Highway 1 (Pacific Way Intersection) for 1.5 miles northeast through California State land along the ridge to the Panoramic Highway. The ridge allows panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Farallon Islands, Frank Valley, Muir Beach, and the Redwood Creek Watershed (home to the Coho Salmon).

McCormick Ranch is located in Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park adjacent to the Hood Mountain watershed. It actively feeds the Santa Rosa Creek, a tributary to the Russian River. Campbell Grading Inc. was brought in by the California State Parks to improve erosion and drainage along the roadways. We reengineered roughly 3.5 miles of road to stop erosion and sediment delivery. We removed shotgun culverts that had been causing massive channeling.
