STP climbing rocks at Lake Los Angeles by Tom Kenney

It's SW of the I-55/I-294 interchange. From I-55, get off at LaGrange Rd., go south a mile to Archer, go right and follow it a few miles to 95th St. Go left, then left again at the stop sign. Take the next right (before the lake on your right) onto Wolf Rd. Park in the first lot on your right.
You can also get off of I-294 at 95th St and go west. You pass Wollow Springs Rd/104th St. And turn left onto Wolf Rd after 95th starts curving. First lot on right.

Palos - There are many miles of gravel widetrack for less-experienced riders, with a generous amount of singletrack for the more demanding rider. Ravines, log piles, roots, some short and steep climbs, and twisty trails up the challenge. Many singletrack trails interconnect, so you aren't committed to doing a long outing if you want a quick ride.
A map is a definite must for your first few rides there. Print one from www.cambr.org. They are the local MTB group that builds and maintains the singeltrack (and always appreciate riders who want to help them out!).
