We were here Sunday after Thanksgiving. Nice tree lined trail through the town. Not many people.
Parking lot was closed when we tried to visit. No signage to explain why.
This is a great trail. We start in Ventura and head up. As long as you pay attention you are fine. The guy behind us took quite a spill on a section of pavement that lifted due to tree roots. We all stopped to check and minis quite a road rash, he was thankfully OK.
Use trail at your own risk! I am 65 yrs old and have been running, skating or bicycling this trail at the southern end for over 40 years. In the last 5 years it has deteriorated into a free for all playground for any type of speeding motorized vehicle imaginable. Dirt bikes, ATV's, UTV's, Mini-bikes...and worst of all, E-bike riders that speed along at 30 to 50 mph and pass within inches of you. Now there are teenager E-bike "gangs" that take over both lanes of the path and flip you off when you tell them to move over. It's completely out of control now. I personally know of one man that was taken to the emergency room at Los Alamitos for broken ribs after being forced off the path and into the rocks by E-bikers. Motor driven vehicles of any kind should never be allowed into this HPV trail and I hope something is done about it soon before someone is killed, if that has not already happened. I feel my safety is threatened to bicycle in the SGRT any more. It's safer in marked bicycle lanes in traffic now IMO.
This path sits between, and is connected to, the Ojai Valley Trail as well as the Omer Raines Coastal Path. It is in good condition, and as of June/July 2024 undergoing a very substantial improvement on a fairly lengthy section. The grades are mild, the scenery decent, and only a few rough patches. Safe for kids. Highly recommend extending onto the Omer Raines path, as well as the path up to Ojai, if you're feeling energetic.
Rode the length of the trail from Foster Park, with my wife. We're both in our 70's. While sections of this ride are excellent, what keeps it from being a five star path are a number of factors. In parts, the trail is rough, and needs maintenance. The fairly frequent road crossings as you approach Ojai set this path aside from five star paths that use underpasses or overpasses. Signage is only fair. Not for inexperienced young riders, secondary to the road crossings and rough sections. All that said, for moderately experienced riders, this is a very good ride.
This wide, excellently maintained bike path is a brief but scenic ride. With only a few short semi-steep climbs and descents while riding through the underpasses, riders of even modest ability will not find it difficult. Not for someone seeking any serious training, almost better for a stroll than a bike ride. Either way, wheels or feet, it's a pleasant outing. For maximum distance, start at the Pleasant Valley Fields sporting complex, when the path comes to a T, go left or right, ride the length of the segment along the creek, and return to your parking space.
Ride this trail from the beach to about the 10 mile marker. Nice well maintained. A bit nervous if you don't like steep drop off both sides.
The newly paved portion is especially nice! And our doggie (Ruby) loves the ride too¿¿
We started off at the San Gabriel river trail at Santa Fe dam park, got onto trail then headed to Whittier Narrows, we cross over to Rosemead blvd and Durfee and entered Rio Hondo trail starting point. There is a restroom at the corner Bosque del Rio bldg if needed. From there we continued on trail cross the 60 Frwy and we stop inside park a little while to watch the Remote RC planes, huge planes those guys are good showing there trick flying fun to see , we then got back on trail, and at Sam’s club we stop for a Hot Dog, they are good and cheap. We then continued all the way to end of trail at Peck Road at a little park, then took peck to Duarte rd and got back on San Gabriel river trail side arm entrance at City of Hope trail next to parking lot, that got into Santa Fe Dam back where we started. It’s a approx 28 miles, yes there are some homeless but where isn’t there in this area,. They are 2way bike lanes nice , lots of water in river in march 2024.
