The completed Gold Rush Path will be a Class I facility that stretches over 14 miles to continuously connect the historic Tuolumne County communities of Jamestown, Sonora, and Columbia as well as the Chicken Ranch Tribal Lands. The path will improve active transportation continuity, encourage healthy and low emission travel behaviors, increase safety, maximize disadvantaged individuals’ access to critical services, and enhance community identity.

In 2025, a partnership led by the Tuolumne County Transportation Council (TCTC) will engage local communities along Phases 2 and 3 of the Gold Rush Path, stretching from Columbia High School to Columbia State Historic Park along SR-49 and Parrotts Ferry Road, to identify a preferred alignment. We welcome you to contact TCTC staff with questions about the project and participate in upcoming engagement events that will be posted to the project webpage below.
