Carnegie SVRA

The MX and ATV track will be closed for grooming tomorrow, Oct. 22.

Trail closures were from off-trail riding that was found in almost every resource management area this past week. The resources team has been working hard to fix these areas.

In order to meet social distancing requirements by San Joaquin and Alameda Counties, Carnegie has limited camping and day use availability. Day Use: Due to limited day use availability, Carnegie encourages visitors to arrive during off peak hours which is typically in the afternoon on weekends and holidays. Park gates open at 8am. Do not park or block Corral Hollow road before 8am. Camping: 8 people, single family household per campsite- 2 vehicles and 1 towed vehicle allowed. Check-out 10am. Check-in 2pm. NO DAY USE PARKING IN THE CAMPGROUND

West hills are open from Carol Canyon to East Franciscan. Pottery Loop, Water Tank Hill, West Franciscan remain closed due to the Hollow fire in July.

A reminder as the park gets busier to use hand signals letting opposite traffic know how many riders are in your group, especially around blind corners.

Tarantula Season is Here! It's that time of year when tarantulas start to come in the evening looking for love. While they are not aggressive and harmless to humans, we recommend not touching them, but encourage pictures. ... Campers may want to double check their sleeping bags at night!
