Wonderful smooth path and local gem. No major street crossings, not too crowded and wide lanes. Various areas to crisscross. Always a pleasant ride.
We rode the loop portion of the Santa Cruz when we rode the Chuck Huckleberry Loop trail which is about 58 miles. This segment had a lot of homelessness and trash but it was still a nice paved road and the homelessness wasn’t an issue just not as scenic as I would have liked. I would give this section a 3 1/2 star. The following day we parked our truck in Marana Heritage River park by the Brad Despain Stables. This section was an out and back. It was about 30 miles. We rode to the end of the trail to the west and then turned around and road towards downtown Tucson. Once we rode to where it hits the loop we turned around. I would give this section a 5 star. It is remote and lots of nice scenery. There is a section that goes close to a nice residential area and that section has a lot more runners and hikers. Overall the north section is the best!
We parked at the Christina Taylor Green Memorial Park. Good facilities. We headed north (to the right). When this trail ended there was another one we rode for a few more miles. Then we turned around and did a final 4 mile loop going south (left) from the CTG Memorial Park. It can connect with The Loop and the Santa Cruz River Trail. The trail was all paved. Great desert scenery. Popular route. Loved it! round trip 26 miles.
Tried the trail 2X both from the west beginning at Glendale Hero’s Regional Park. Pleasant heading west and easily connects to the outstanding New River Trail. Heading east from Hero’s Park, as another reviewer pointed out, it gets sketchy after a few miles. We pushed on. It got worse. Homeless all over, poorly designed crossing. We turned around at N47th Ave. The next day, confident all the 5 star reviews meant something, we tried again from the east hoping to do a long loop. Started at Granada Park going east on the (also overrated) Arizona Canal then south on the Crosscut Canal to the Grand Canal. Started Ok, but abruptly and irrevocably ended as a Hard Stop at I-17 in a very sketchy neighborhood
Many things to see near and past the designated north end of trail. A huge mining pit and great red rock views. I am going further north soon to see how far you can follow the canal to the dam in mountains.
Good trail. It really goes forever. We saw no real trash or homeless. There were other bikers and walkers in this area. No shade so definitely a winter ride.
We parked at Thunderbird Paseo Park. Seemed safe with others parked there. This was just sort of exploring for us. We rode north for 2 1/2 miles and on TrailLink it shows the trail ending but it flowed right into the Stadium Trail. That ended at a busy street but I’m sure you could have crossed the road to the other side of the canal. We turned around and rode back past the park for several miles. Another busy street. Crossed the bridge on a safe sidewalk separated from traffic. Rode up the other side of the canal. You can cross the river bottom at several places and go back and forth. bottom
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.
Not so nice in others: homeless and questionable activities. The path itself is great, wide and smooth. It was clear and clean in the distance I went. Some ducks and fish in the water, as well as a few shopping carts.
wanted to bike the path but zero parking, especially by 142nd st which has no parking signs everywhere. So I drove towards the other end and all I could find was what looked like a construction site. Not a parking area. I'm guessing the trail must be doable but even so, looks like mostly a few miles of exhaust fumes.
