we have riden this caw trail from Greenfield park going north.
The descrition says asphalt - gravel. It should be noted that in the section going north for about 10 miles maybe 10% is asphalt, the rest is sometimescompacted dirt and sometimes compacted bolder, so bad I broke my bike suspension seat, further more it cross busy 4 lanes boulevard with NO pedestrian or bike crossing ,dangerous at best, the car driver look like they are trying to get you.
May be ok if your are adventurous and do not mind getting run over at crossing, and if you are riding mountain bike or fat bike.
The trail have tremendous potential, it is not there yet, far from it.

The trail is now over six miles from Power to Rittenhouse.
We parked at the Shannon Parking lot for the Loop. Google maps will take you to the parking lot. Did an 18 Mile round trip. Could be longer if you wanted. You can cross the Wash at several places and ride both sides of the Wash. Beautiful scenery. Lots of trees and giant cactus. It was a Saturday so the trail was busy but fun. Parks along the way. We are staying at the South 40 RV park and next time we will just ride out of the RV park. Can use sidewalks to get to trail. Can also ride to the Canada del Oro and the Santa Cruz trail.
We stayed at So 40 RV park. Could actually have ridden from the RV park to the trail but drove and parked at the small lot at Thornydale and rode 10 miles north up the trail. The scenery is great and the path has lots of curves and 4 steel bridges to cross back and forth across the giant wash. Just after you leave the parking lot you come to a”Y”. One way is the Santa Cruz Trail and the other the Canada del Oro.
well maintained safe, quiet. great for hour, quick ride out and back
My only complaint is that they ripped up the pavement on some sections and never repaved it! I also want to share that on this canal, just south of the Riparian park (on Guadalupe) you will see electric lines and a sidewalk going east/west. This is a great trail to use in conjunction with this canal trail. This trail runs from power road way out to Tempe. Some parts are dirt but most are paved. This electric line trail will take you right to downtown Gilbert
There’s lots of street crossings, but it wasn’t that big of a deal. You just have to keep your eyes open. Maybe half of the trail was smooth between compacted dirt and concrete. The rest was fairly rough and gravely. Highly recommend it.
Started out at Hohokam Park and went five miles on it up and back. There are street crossings, but there are red light pushbutton traffic stops so the street can be crossed with little interruption. Only issue I have is lack of benches.
This is a very smooth trail, but way to many road crossings. In some sections, about .4 miles apart. We biked about 25 miles today, and averaged about 8 mph. Sadly, seems like all trails in Mesa are similar to this.
Started at Thornydale and rode NE. As others have noted, the trail climbs very gradually going NE which makes the return ride easy. Did 5 miles out and 5 miles back. Scenery is pretty with mountains in the distance. Saw a few other cyclists on the trail and a couple people walking dogs. Drove down from Phoenix to ride this trail and will definitely ride this trail again; will also explore the rest of the Loop.
I love this trail. They did some work on the path and it is really bumpy for road bikes. You can ride to Power and head over to Sonoqui. I can get a good 22 miles in on this loop. Pros: I feel very safe on this trail. You are by houses and no matter the time of day other people are out. Cons: really bumpy for a road bike
