Continuation and update on review: garbage cans, benches, and gas line poles that are well-painted and maintained, are well distributed from the end of the bikeway to just about 1500 feet, near the parking area at the foot of the bikeway. There are no restrooms, so one has to be creative when eliminating. The trail is in a seedy area, so one must be careful, not drive alone, and not drive at night without good lighting and audio equipment.
I heard there was going to be a pier at the end, which would be magnificent. I heard of this back in 2008, but have not heard anything since: money problems?

My husband and I rode this path last weekend and was very disappointed. We have recently ridden several other Rails to Trails paths and have nothing but praise and great reviews for them, but this one........well, it was very disappinting and actually dangerous. The few (maybe 4 people) on this path did not seem to be there for the enjoyment or the beauty, but for maybe hiding for illegal activities? We were approached by 3-4 teens that wanted to "buy our bikes?" I was afraid that they would actually "take" our bikes.
The path itself was in poor repair and severly neglected. The asphalt was all broken, covered over with bushes and trash with broken glass everywhere. At the end closest to the river, a beautiful location to view the river was the best part of the trail but was still desolate and deserted and gave no warm feeelongs of safety.
If you decide to ride this path, please be very careful and DO NOT GO ALONE!!! Be very aware of your surroundings and stop for no one.
