Westminster Hoover Street Trail

The trail is not actually on railroad property, but is immediately adjacent to an active Southern Pacific rail right-of-way and crosses an active U.S. Navy rail facility. Three transportation corridors run along Hoover Street between Bolsa Avenue and the Garden Grove Freeway; the four-lane street itself, the tracks of an active railroad, and a paved rail-trail. DIFFICULTY: Easy FOOD: There are no restaurants located along the route, but a neighborhood grocery store is on the corner of Trask Avenue and Hoover Street. Restaurants and supermarkets can be found elsewhere in Westminster. REST ROOMS: There are rest rooms at either trailhead, nor are there any along the trail. TRANSPORTATION: For transit information, call the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) at (714) 636-RIDE (7433), or write OCTA, 550 South Main Street, P.O. Box 14184, Orange, CA 92868-1584 RENTALS: There are no rentals available along the route.

To reach the Bolsa Avenue trailhead form Interstate 405 in Westminster, take the Bolsa Avenue exit. Head east on Bolsa Avenue for 0.4 mile to Hoover Street. The trail is obvious, running between the street and the active Union Pacific Railroad line. The second end point, at Garden Grove Boulevard, is most easily reached by following Hoover Street north to the trail's end. There are no formal parking areas at either end of the trail, and only limited parking along the street.
