The Great Shasta Rail Trail is awful. We tried putting in at three trail heads and each time had to turn back because the thick unpacked gravel made it impossible to ride. We also encountered fallen trees and massive rock slides. Another problem is that not a single trailhead is marked and the roads they are off of have no road signs. It is in an area with little to know cell service, so trying to find trail heads in an area where no roads are named is nigh unto impossible. Finally, after a very frustrating 90 minutes of driving, I parking (a class c rv) unloading,trying to ride and giving up, we finally rode about 20 miles on Pilgrim Creek road, and another rural road. Don’t even waste your time trying,
Riding bikes on this paved, curvy trail through the trees fulfills a kid's need-for-speed, while allowing adults the chance to slow down from the traffic at home. It's a win-win on all accounts.
The American River Parkway/Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail is absolutely beautiful! It’s a peaceful, scenic place to walk, bike, jog, or just enjoy the outdoors. The river views, trees, wildlife, and fresh air make it feel like a little escape right in the Sacramento area. Such a wonderful trail and definitely a local treasure!
Took my kids on a bike ride in the San Bernardino / Colton/Grand Terrace area of the Santa Ana River trail. We encountered lots of homeless encampments, lots of trash everywhere, graffiti and were threatened by a homeless individual on the trail and had to hightail it out of there to get to safety. I put in a complaint that was never followed up on or addressed. There is definitely a need for more oversight and enforcement presence on the trail to make it feel safer.
I just discovered this trail. Great nature ride on ebike. Safe, smooth, pavement. Not too long and too short.
San Diego has really lost its beautiful appeal now that it is allowing people to camp anywhere.
I’ve found great pit stops, the Dragon tea house, Pho place, Mexican restaurant and O’briens awesome sandwiches. Still more to explore. Oh The yogurt Mill… yum.
Although it is really a network of neighborhood trails, main trail is clearly marked. I actually clocked about 18 miles round trip from the parking at the hatchery. There is unpaved spur up the hill toward the lake so if you have e-bike or mountain bike, you can try it as well.
Trail is long, but it seems it is just the canal access road. No benches, no water, no shade, no facilities, so be prepared.
Rode this yesterday from campground. Between Camp Richardson towards Cascade is less traveled and very bumpy. The other direction from Camp Richardson is much smoother trail for bikes.
Saw some some snow beside the trail but well maintained trail with views along Truckee River. I would not recommend parking at Commons Park because it is a tough entry point with busy streets to cross. Look for parking near Truckee bridge nearby at Tahoe City. Also take the extension at Olympic village for another 2.2 miles .
