Fort Ord Public Lands: Laguna Seca Raceway Entrance - Mountain Bike Trailheads on Waymarking.com

Laguna Seca Raceway and Regional Park has one of several designated parking areas for the Fort Ord  Public Lands.  There are numerous single track, dirt roads, and a few paved roads that can be accessed from this location.  Please note that Laguna Seca is one of the higher points in the area, so most of the bike trails from this point are pretty much downhill.  The unfortunate consequence of this is that you end up having to do some climbing to get back to your car.

Fort Ord Public Land

The Fort Ord Public Land is administered by the BLM.  The BLM has done an outstanding job of developing the area for multiple uses.  One of the biggest draws to the area is the mountain biking.  Every class of trail can be encountered on the numerous trails in the old Fort Ord backcountry.

Private vehicles are banned, except by permit, from most of the roads administered by the BLM, making for some excellent riding on asphalt.  If you feel more adventurous, there are plenty of well marked trails to choose from.  Please stay on marked trails only.  There are numerous bandit trails and the BLM would appreciate everyone's help in minimizing the impact in the area.  Also, please do not drive around any "Road Closed" barricades.  The coordinates for the various parking areas that I've submitted are where you should park.

There are a few bulletin boards scattered throughout the area and one at the Portola Road parking area that sporadically has the much coveted trail maps.  However, it's much easier to just download a map from boulter's ExpertGPS calibrated maps.  You don't need ExpertGPS just to print the jpeg map out, but it may be worth you while to purchase it if you intend to hunt for some caches in the area.  It makes locating the nearest trails much easier.
