The Table Mountain Trail, located between Jamestown and New Melones Lake is easy to moderate The hike begins on Shell Rd through oak woodlands and up Table Mountain. The hike to the top is beautiful, and once you arrive at the top, incredible views of Jamestown, New Malones Lake, and Sonora! In the Spring, Table Mountain is covered with wildflowers. The trails are not marked well, so you may need to ask for directions along the way. But it’s worth it! Best in the Spring! Located 8.5 miles, 28 minutes from the Motherlode Miners Cabin.
