The Fordyce Creek Trail is a rock crawling route in California not far from the Rubicon Trail. The trailhead is just past Indian Springs Campground on Eagle Lakes Road.
The rocky terrain is more dangerous than most off-road trails.[1] There are officially 5 winch-hills combined with several deep water crossings.[2] The overall rock crawling rating of this trail is 4.6 stars.[3]
The first full weekend in August each year is the home to Sierra Trek, an event hosted by the California Four Wheel Drive Association,
During 2018's Sierra Trek, a 62-year-old Chico man was killed in a rollover.[4] [5]
