2nd Annual Turkey Trek

Call your friends, grab the kids and come walk off that big holiday dinner the day after Thanksgiving on Nevada City's beautiful Deer Creek Tribute Trail!

This event is free and open to the public. No reservations required.

From the Nimrod St. trailhead across from Pioneer Park, follow the trail along Little Deer Creek to the Stonehouse parking lot – The path indicated in the Nevada City insert will guide you to the Chinese Monument. Stop by the Monument before taking York Street south towards the Miners Foundry. From here, signs with the TributeTrail logo will direct you along rest of the trail that follows the Newtown Ditch and heads down to and across Deer Creek. 

Paying Tribute To Deer Creek’s Rich Heritage:
The Tribute Trail offers a path into the past while giving different perspectives on the present. The interpretive signs along the trail pay tribute to the Nisenan who were the original human inhabitants of this watershed, explore the rich history of Chinese immigrants during the gold mining era, identify both native and non-native plants seen along the trail, and describe floodplain function and restoration.

Exploring the Deer Creek Tribute Trail:
What better way to explore Deer Creek’s rich history and scenic beauty than to follow the Deer Creek Tribute Trail. The multi-use trail offers a cultural and ecological greenway through Nevada City, California. The trail begins in historic downtown Nevada City and moves along scenic backroads and trails. Ponderosa Pine, Black Oak, and Live Oak create a peaceful and shaded pathway for people of all ages and abilities.


 

    Portions of the Tribute Trail are available for picnics, bicycling,
    hiking, swimming, fishing, and horseback riding. Come and walk a
    portion of the trail and then have lunch in downtown Nevada City,
    or challenge yourself to the full 8 mile trail!
