Hirschman Trail

Hirschman's Pond Trail, located in Nevada City, CA, is a scenic trail system maintained by the Bear Yuba Land Trust. With a length of 2.4 miles, this natural earth trail offers hikers and mountain bikers the opportunity to explore oak woodlands, pines, and grasslands, while also providing barrier-free access to the picturesque Hirschman's Pond.

Designated as a Nevada County Historical Landmark, Hirschman's Pond holds historical significance as a site where pioneer miner Leb Hirschman and the Jewish community settled during the Gold Rush. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil scenery, go fishing along the shore, and observe various wildlife, including ducks, geese, and herons. The trail also features a 40-foot long trestle, replicating the construction techniques of the late 1800s, adding to the charm and allure of this nature escape.
