Description
A freeway runs alongside it. High tension lines run over it. The San Diego Freeway is south of it. The neighborhoods with their sound walls are north of it. The eastern portion is stark and open. The western portion has its own sound wall and landscaping for a more scenic ride by far.
Why ride it? For the connections.
It is a 2.92 mile blacktop trail that connects to three north-south bike trails to San Diego Creek below Bill Barber Park, the Woodbridge Trail and the Jeffrey Open Space Trail. This gives you a lot of options in planning rides in south Irvine that are not Out & Backs.
