Nice trail, flat and shady. There are a couple of big streets to cross but it is easy to pick up the trail again.
Lots of shade along the way, a few dismount areas as you make it to where the path crosses the street.
Pluses: the trail is well maintained, with smooth pavement. Flat, decent for family bike rides,
Negatives: The trail is not entirely on a dedicated path, with a section that is out on the streets. Signage is there, but a bit too easy to miss, regarding getting you through the section on the streets,
The western half of the trail is out in the country, and though it parallels a fairly busy highway, fairly pleasant. The eastern half, though the trail itself is in good shape, is remarkable only for being a good commuter trail. It passes through a semi-industrialized region of the city, and has little esthetic value.
Bottom line: A good commuter trail, good for a quick out and back if you're passing through and want to get some exercise on a decent trailm but not worth making a special trip to get to.
Road is closed to vehicle traffic on weekends. Great road condition and amazing view of ocean beach.
Started the trail at the water tower. Really nice to finally have a trail that connects to Sacramento. Had to cross streets but it was worth it for the ride.
I rode this trail from the Livermore end to just past Danville. Overall, it seems more suited to local users that have identified sections that fit their needs (e..g. running, walking, or shorter bike rides. There were two fairly lengthy detours secondary to construction. Parts of the trail have cracks wide enough that they are a serious risk to causing anyone with skinny tires to crash, though other parts are as perfect as a path can be. Foot traffic in the Danville section, at least on a weekend, is heavy. There are many traffic crossings, and having to wait for a light to change in order to get across is not uncommon. For anyone attempting to ride the entire length of the trail, a spirit of adventure and a bit of determination would be required. Of note is that one can get on the trail right in front of the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. As BART is a bike friendly way of getting around, this opens up trail access to people throughout the Bay Area. Other than dangerous cracks in the path, safety is not an issue.
Beautiful shady trail short and sweet
DO NOT plan to use this trail with inline skates. It was a disaster. Unless you own all terrain skates, these paths are better for walking, cycling.
Great views during the bike trail. My son and I went on a beautiful day. Stoped by old sac for some food on the way back from Discovery Park.
This paved trail from Santa Rosa City Hall to Railroad Square with extensions to the west along Santa Rosa Creek is a great bit of nature in the downtown. Restored 20 years ago from a paved trapezoidal channel, it is now grown out with towering trees and pools and riffles. It even goes under Highway 101. It is also lined with murals and art pieces. Newly adopted by a group called Friends of the Prince Memorial Greenway, it is clean and well maintained and frequently patrolled by Santa Rosa Police and members of the Friends Committee?
This is just a path from point A to point B. Nothing remarkable. It goes through homeless camps and under highway bridges. Not the most beautiful experience. Nicely paved.
