Description:
Travel through the orchards south of Chico on this path that runs toward Durham on the abandoned Sacramento Northern RR right-of-way. The trail is popular in the college town that has a rapidly expanding trail network. The Sacramneto Northern Railroad ran commuter service from the northern Sacramento valley through Sacramento and into the Bay Area. Various sections of the right-of-way have been converted to trail use.

Chico Durham Bike Path
By twirlymaker in June, 2010
Parking available at North end. This Path for the most part is along side the Midway Rd. However one section, just south of E. Park Ave and across Little Chico Creek, goes along a 200 ft Wall, with a Mural commissioned in 2004 by Chico Velo and the City of Chico, half depicting a serial view of the Chico Wildflower Century, and half the Wildflowers along the path. The two benches and display case were provided as an Eagle Scout Project. This Path provides views of Groves of English Walnut Trees grafted on Black Walnut stumps to take advantage of the better Black Walnut Roots. Noel Keller 5 Jun 10
