Robie Point Fuel Break Trail (FBT)
This functional fire access road through the Auburn State Recreation Area provides an almost level, easy jaunt across the brush, and scattered fire-prone slopes between the North Fork of the American River and the prime residential areas along Auburn’s back porch. Great place for morning or after-work exercise. You can link to the WST and the Robie Point Trails below the Robie Point subdivision.
