Trails: Old Smith Ranch

The long-awaited Old Smith Ranch Trail opened in July 2020. The trail cuts an elegant, 2.1-mile path along the south bank of the Ten Mile River. The Mendocino Land Trust has worked diligently for 10 years to acquire, protect, and provide access to this beautiful stretch along the Ten Mile River, north of Fort Bragg. The trail – funded by the State Coastal Conservancy – features a picnic and parking area, as well as three benches with spectacular views.
