Electric Avenue Medium Park (Seal Beach)
By twirlymaker on January 24, 2008
This sinuous 0.68 mile path through the park has 5 street crossings and may be continued 0.45 mile to the junction with the arch San Gabriel River Trail. At the north end go right on 6th St and cross Marina Dr., turn left on the off street path along Marina Dr, to 1st St. Cross and continue on bike lane for 0.08 mile to enter the south end of the 39 mile San Gabriel River Trail (N33.74676 W118.11261) . For a Nautical scenic ride, turn left on 1st St to Ocean Ave making a circular route back to south end of the park. By Noel Keller
