Overview

Pedaling along our historic tracks, bathed in dappled sunlight and a light breeze, you’ll experience a new freedom on the rails, unlike anything else. Without the need to steer, you’re unbound, able to look around at the wonder of this untouched stretch of the natural world, spotting blue herons, osprey, an occasional lounging turtle, perhaps a playful river otter, a deer munching on the foliage, and during peak berry season maybe even a bear.

What To Expect
Experience the California Redwoods and our rails in an entirely new way aboard our unique, electric powered Railbikes. Pedal along our historic California Western Railroad tracks while enjoying the sunshine, cool breeze, and towering redwoods amongst osprey, blue herons, river otters, ducks, geese, turtles, deer and many other animals that make their home along the Pudding Creek Estuary. Once arriving at the half-way point, Glen Blair Junction, you will have 50 minutes to get off your bike and explore the numerous hiking trails, lounge on our magnificent redwood deck, enjoy our pavilion with picnic tables and fire pits, and explore the coastal redwoods before your return 3.5 mile trip back to the depot. This is a truly unique experience and fun for all ages 6 and up.

5.00We did not get to go because of a mudslide. We were really looking forward to it. And we will absolutely be doing it next time.
A must!

1.00We arrived an expected more out of a almost $300 rail cart ride we were probably on the bikes for about 20 mins in total we spent 10 mins of it riding to the junction we spent more time at the junction doing nothing we had the option of a 0.9 mile hike but were told the bathrooms would arrive shorty to use the bathroom so we waited and by the time they came in was a hour and half later of doing nothing no food or drinks then once the bathrooms came it was time to go 10 mins back to town and that was it, really underwhelming and was very disappointing this was for my girlfriends birthday
Fun adventure for all ages!

5.00Was a little apprehensive about having to peddle uphill before taking the trip but learned that the electric motor could handle all of the work! This let us enjoy the ride on the rails along a swollen Pudding Creek in the beautiful redwoods. A bonus was taking a guided hike at the Glen Bier turnaround spot. The staff took very good care of us. Loved the trip.
Fun ride

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! Guides Johnny and Wynsong were incredible! The rail bikes are really fun to use and take you deep into the coastal redwoods. The picnic environment at the destination was fantastic, cider there was great too! Wynsong even led a guided trail and we learnt so much more about these majestic trees!
Amazing experience and a must- do if in Fort Bragg!

5.00This was an extremely fun experience, and I will recommend it to anyone I know or meet going forward. Johnny was our fearless leader and with Marcus- they were incredibly charismatic and helpful- even when my husband and teen daughters bike stopped working- they literally ran to help. The rail bikes are spaced out along the train tracks- from Fort Bragg to the amazing end point was magical and so beautiful, along the creeks and forests. Johnny talks to each bike through a speaker while you speed along- its motorized so you don't have to pedal unless you want to ( it makes it go faster) but if you just sit it goes fast enough. He gives history and trivia facts. We did a lot of things in this area and this was BY FAR the favorite. Highly recommend!!
So fun and unique! Beautiful!

5.00This was so fun and so unique! My husband and I did the rail bike tour, which was a nice length (we would have loved to have gone on a longer one), taking you out to the prettiest little pavilion nestled among the redwoods, where we could warm up by the fire pits, grab a cocktail and a snack, and take a leisurely hike. Don’t miss the guided hike! Not only is it simply beautiful, but our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the forest. An absolute delight! Pro tip: tickets are discounted if you buy them day-of!
Just do it!
