I was excited to run on the Riverwalk Trail. Unfortunately the reviews are all from many years ago and things have definitely changed. On a beautiful Sunday morning I was the only runner, passing homeless people and their tents along the way. I couldn’t run through several of the undercrossings because there were homeless men sitting on the trail at the bottom. In one case two men were passed out with their legs sticking out on the trail. I had to backtrack and cross to the other side to avoid a large group of homeless men standing on both sides of the trail. Much of the trail is surrounded by chain link fences to keep the homeless (I’m assuming) from setting up camp under the overcrossings. I would never use this trail again. Much better to fight the crowds along the West Cliff trail.
My husband and I walked this path and under a freeway we passed 6 grown men and one woman bent in half seemingly paralyzed. They were unable to do anything to hurt anyone but the forested ditches to the side of the path most likely had hungry drug adicts. I would not recommend this path, especially the southern part of the
It’s a nice trail. Good concrete and is an overall fun trail to ride. It would probably be even prettier if CA got some rain and the creek was full. Decent though, saw some snakes in the creek!
Very, very beautiful bike ride, a little bit longer than it reported here - closer to 7 1/2 miles and I see that some people posted even longer (8 mi). Very well marked through the town, but not so well marked once you get out of the town. Going through the trees, and even the small streets, looking at the gorgeous houses - that most of us could never afford (¿) - was super fun.
First time riding this trail and all I can say is amazing. It’s an easy safe ride along the coast that’s not too long for a beginner bike rider, offering beautiful views.
Beautiful flat ride along Humboldt Bay from the Eureka waterfront to the Arcata Marsh. Connects to trails heading to the south of Eureka and to the north of McKinleyville for 25 miles of safe and scenic riding.
Mostly straight, good paved trail. Like another review stated, you have to go up to the nearest stop light for a few corssings but otherwise a nice trail following San Fernando Rd. Took it from the nearest point to my home to the train station and back on my OneWheel. About 13 miles round trip. Am going to ride it again.
This trail has everything, smooth surface, spectacular views of the coast, and restrooms! From the Noyo River bridge on Hwy 1 to the end of the haul road trail is 7 miles. If you are in the area don't miss this ride.
Road it yesterday from beginning to end and back. Wonderful ride. Long uphill on way back but totally worth it
Very pretty, flat trail. I started near the Timber Lodge Trail and made it to Catfish Beach
It’s so nice to just jump on a bike and enjoy the slow pace of days gone by.
