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.
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 .
Unfortunately the city does a terrible job keeping the bike paths clear and safe. Some areas are not even passable.
I love this trail! It's a beautiful ride along the river. There are some slight hills to give your work out some variety. Don't forget to stop and take pictures!!
The only reason to ride this trail is to get to the trail along the beach! Or to commute. Not scenic at all. Lots of concrete all around you.
This trail is absolutely fantastic and represents true California! Right now, Feb 21, 2026 the part right in front of the water plant is completely sanded and you need to walk your bike quite far. We gave up after 10 min. This is the first time in 3 years that I have seen something like this. I hope the city will clean it up quickly. Also, the part around Venice, requires you to be on the street with cars. Not so enjoyable, especially on the weekend. But riding along the beach, between the sand, simply amazing!!!!!
The new bike path is a huge improvement and a long-overdue upgrade for the community. By connecting directly to the Pacific Electric Trail, it creates a safer, more continuous route for cyclists and e-bike riders, with far fewer traffic interruptions. That alone makes it a win for anyone who values safety, accessibility, and thoughtful infrastructure. Paths like this aren’t just for one group—they’re for all of us. They reduce conflicts with cars, encourage outdoor activity, and make commuting and recreation more enjoyable for riders of all ages and skill levels. These projects are funded by public dollars, and they’re meant to serve the broader community, not just accommodate the loudest complaints. If someone prefers not to be around bike traffic, there are plenty of sidewalks, walking paths, and alternatives available. This path does exactly what it was designed to do: provide a safe, efficient space for bicycles. Overall, it’s a smart use of resources and a positive step forward for the area.
