The Miner's Ravine Bike and Walking Trail is an 8.4-mile out-and-back trail in the middle of Roseville along the western boundary of the Sierra Nevada. Accessible year-round and open to dogs on leashes, the popular trail has over 30 miles of paved dual use for bikers and walkers and forms part of the Dry Creek watershed, traversing miles of open space that is rich with history, native flora, and fauna. Named for the gold mining activities in the ravine just after the 1849 Gold Rush when miners used to sift for gold in the stream at the bottom of the gorge, the Miner's Ravine Trail is packed with a diverse variety of fauna and flora, including 50 species of mammals, 20 species of reptiles and amphibians, and some 200 species of birds that live or migrate through the Dry Creek watershed.
