Great Gravel Rides in Sonoma, Napa, Mendo?

Just check out their GPS routes.

In Mendocino County you have the Old Toll Road which runs parallel to Hwy 175 into Lake County, Fish Rock Road (which is partly paved) off of Hwy 128, and Low Gap Road out of Ukiah.

There's a bunch of stuff on trail forks up there nowadays too.

In Sonoma:
Combine old caz with willow creek. Start at Occidental.

combine Annadel fire roads with north Sonoma mountain park, Jack London and the Sonoma development center.

Bald mountain in sugarloaf is a great challenge.

Napa: start in Calistoga. Up old Howell then through PUC to Moore Creek to Hennessy and back.

Is Moore creek considered a gravel trail type place?

There is for sure a road that goes up the Moore Creek side, and a gravel loop that goes around the lake side, but I would not want to go up or down DWR wo suspension. You could probably do the "Old" DWR section fine , but it would not be especially fun imo.

Thanks. I only ask because I love going to Moore creek but I thought it was more of a trail bike type place than a gravel so I was checking my definition against someone with more experience than me.

Fish Rock is worth doing. Have done the Bike Monkey loop (when is was the Hermano ride) but an out and back to the coast would be worth doing.

A bit further up is Jackson State forest and all the other goods between Fort Bragg/Mendocino and Willits. Backroads, fire roads, gravel, logging roads, and ST to keep you exploring for weeks. Check out the heat map.
