Preston Road

Preston Road is an easy 4WD trail that runs through the heart of the Golden Horseshoe. The western half of this trail is smooth and easy. The eastern half is narrow, rocky and steep. Preston Road's western trailhead is at the historic ghost town of Preston. Get out and enjoy the old ruins, but be safe and remember to respect this historic site! Take only pictures. Leave only footprints. This trail is part of the Golden Horseshoe trail system which covers over 8000 acres between the Swan River and French Gulch. The area has a rich history and is dotted with countless mines, mills, and cabins dating from the late 1870s through the 1950s. The Golden Horseshoe is crisscrossed with 4WD, ATV, single track, mountain bike and foot trails. Keep a sharp eye out for other folks using this network and, as always, be considerate. Stay the trail, and pack out what you packed in.
