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.
I rode only the northern portion until I couldn’t take it anymore. Every underpass was a homeless encampment. Trash. garbage, etc blocked the trail and made it dangerous to ride. Not recommended.
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.
We parked at Rio Vista Community Park. Beautiful Park. Lots of people and parking. From the Park you can also access Skunk Creek Trail which we got on by accident for a few miles but then turned around and came back and got the New River Trail. We did the section on both sides of the river (dry! lol) but quite a few beautiful Palo Verde trees along the trail. Will go back and head further south from the park towards Sun City. Nice trail with no street crossing interruptions.
Really enjoyed this trail. Close to our resort and easy access. Not busy during the week. Well marked, going again today.
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
Nice overall, but could use some repair and better trail markings. Great length.
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.
Beautiful path and very, very clean. Completed entire path from south to north and back again and my only suggestion is to add a crosswalk crossing N 100th St to and from Horizon Park at the north end. This will keep cyclists and pedestrians much safer. Otherwise, I felt extremely safe the rest of the way. Loved it!
