I have seen signs for this canal, but never took a trip on it until this morning. I decided to take my mountain bike at the 20th street entrance and headed West. The asphalt was in great shape, except for one area that was quite bumpy, and runs along the south side of the canal.
During my ride out to 7th Avenue, I encountered several walkers & even a biker. There were stop signs to alert you to the fact that you were about to cross a street, so you could wait to cross. I enjoyed my ride to 7th Avenue and back to 20th street. My total mileage was 6.09 miles, but that included riding to the neighborhood behind the canal where I was staying.
Yes, I would recommend this ride to anyone with a bike, or even walkers and skaters.
