With extensive input from the community, the Board of Supervisors today approved a comprehensive trails master plan intended to guide future multi-use trail development in the Castaic area, announced Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
“I initiated this plan as part of my legacy working with the community to expand and preserve thousands of acres of open space, dedicate hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, equestrian activities and mountain biking to improve the quality of life for our residents,” Antonovich said.
This master plan encourages and promotes new multi-use trails, and improves our existing trails. It enhances trail access, connectivity to prime destinations, and increases recreational opportunities.
Encompassing 75 square miles of the Castaic area, the plan includes nearly 100 miles of multi-use trails, as well as trail-related and support facilities including staging areas, equestrian amenities, bike skills parks, and trailheads. The area is composed of mountainous and valley terrain that abuts the Angeles National Forest to the north, the city of Santa Clarita to the southeast, Highway 126 to the south, and Ventura County to the west.
Once established, the proposed new multi-use trails will interconnect with U.S. Forest Service trails within the nearby Angeles National Forest; the city of Santa Clarita trail system, and the future Newhall Ranch trail network.
