For me, who is afraid of heights, this was a bit difficult. It is slightly elevated and no railings. The surface is smooth, nice, easy to ride bike on. Going north-south, turn right at the neighborhood. Rode this Sunday lunchtime. Fair amount of runners, cyclists, and pedestrians. Everyone was considerate to each other.
It is a neat clean little bike trail. It is not very long but, is a nice place to ride. It is not super intuitive when you cross streets. Be sure to look for the small blue & white signs that help direct you when you cross streets
This trail is currently closed from the North Beach entrance (near Metrolink) to the Portal Ave entrance. A series of rain induced land slides over the past few years took out a foot bridge and also damaged the railroad tracks. The trains have periodically halted and restarted but that portion of the path has been kept closed. May 2024 repair of the foot bridge has finally started. In 2023 the City of San Clemente passed bike restrictions for the trail. No bikes on the path near the Pier during summer season and peddle assist has been banned year round. Sadly the poor actions of a few bikers forced this restriction. That said, it’s a beautiful to walk. (5 stars) You are better off riding the well marked bike paths through town and visit either Dana Point Harbor or head south to the surfing spots of Trestles and San Onofre.
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.
I away used to ride this trail ever since a couple months ago
