We ride this regularly starting at the south end, Torrance Bch.
Cons:We usually don't go past Venice and almost always don't go past Dockweiler. Once you get into Venice it's always crowded with inexperienced cyclists and pedestrians walking where they shouldn't. Throughout the trail many fast moving e-bikes with generally younger and inexperienced riders. They are not allowed in most places but is not enforced by the local Police. Roller bladers also can be a hazard.
Pros: Beautiful ocean views, plenty of places to stop, eat, bathroom break, etc. Riviera Village in Redondo Bch is a short detour off the trail as well as the main road going through Hermosa.
All in all a nice ride for a relaxing time.
Easy ride with a slight uphill to lower Peter’s Canyon Trail. 16 mile trip from home to the Walnut Trail, Peter’s Canyon Trail to West Irvine Trail
We rode from Dockweiler RV Park North today (Sunday). Not as much traffic this way and a big portion of the trail has a separate walking section. Fun to go thru Venice! It is 9.5 miles to the Santa Monica pier and another 2.5 (total 12) to the blocked off section by National guard. That is the start of the fire area from the palisade fire. Never bored on this trail.
We stay at Dockweiler State RV which is right on the trail. From the RV to the south end of the trail is 9 miles. Lots of fun things to look at/people to see/places to eat. Try to avoid Sat&Sun if you can. Lots lots of walkers/dogs/other bikers but nobody seems bothered by anything. We love camping here and riding this trail. Never boring.
We are at the northern section on of the trail that stands alone. Will be great if ever connected to the longer southern section. We are staying at Rancho Jarupa RV Park (great place). You can ride 2 miles right out of the park along a peaceful street/turn right at the signal on the sidewalk of the bridge over the river to the dog park. From there you can go 10 miles to the south end of the trail. It does follow the river but lots of areas need clean up of dead trees etc but still a great ride. (Not much bothers us). Some homeless camps by the water in one area but no bother.
From Seal Beach to Los Alamitos this is fun. After that you hit sone random cool spots up into Bellflower. After that its all industrials, menkey back yard ranches, dried up river beds, homeless camps & trash. Im continually blown away by how many people live in the California river beds.
Would have been swell but the disgusting bathrooms and homeless people shooting up at the beach park was enough for us to not want to come back to this one. Huntington Beach is way better.
