THE ARNOLD RIM TRAIL (ART) is envisioned as a non-motorized, multi-use trail that will eventually surround the lo-cal Highway 4 communities of Arnold, Avery and Hathaway Pines.

The ART is the backbone of a much larger trail network found within an 8000 acre piece of public land known as the “Interface” in the Stanislaus National Forest. The ART offers great walking, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and a myriad of other outdoor pursuits.

the Highway 4 corridor. All are a short distance off Highway 4.
