Is it safe to mountain bike at Northstar California?

We don't rate places, roads or trails as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a ride is, and places riders like draw more riders, so they see more crashes. Police crash reports cover public roads, so falls on trails aren't in them. What the records show: no bike crashes were reported within a mile of Northstar California from 2021–2026.
