The Arroyo Mocho Trail is a part of a network of multi-use trails in Livermore and which also links with the city of Pleasanton. The trail provides access to neighborhoods, schools, numerous parks, the business district and municipal facilities. Some sections are immediately adjacent to high-traffic streets, while other segments follow a paved route along the arroyo, removed from traffic.
The Arroyo Mocho Trail intersects with the Isabel Avenue Trail just north of Stanley Boulevard.
You can access the Arroyo Mocho Trail from any of the parks through which it travels or intersecting streets. Parking is available at Sunken Gardens Park at the end of Pacific Avenue and at the ballfields along S. Livermore Avenue.
Great for biking & walking!
After reading about the Arroyo Mocho Trail, I headed out to reconnoiter my future commute route to work (Livermore) from San Ramon. The first 4-5 miles of this trail is hazardous for those with novice or beginner level riding skills. Those first few miles are mostly loose gravel with some gaping cracks in the paved sections. After that, the trail turns to a smoother, paved trail. Mountain, Gravel, Cyclocross or otherwise 'wide tires' are recommended for those with less experience riding in loose terrain.
This is a excellent trail for bike riding. The other posts that gave it negative reviews are full of crap.
I ride there all the time and always enjoy it.
I walk this trail all the time. It is a beautiful walk with lots of families either running, biking or walking. There is a creek that runs along side the trails, it is so peaceful.
The latest attack occurred on 04/27/15 at approximately 6 pm. Beware walking alone on this trail if you are a woman.
See Livermore Police Department website for information about the attack

We entered the trail in a neighborhood in Livermore and enjoyed a great ride! There was limited traffic on the trail and it was very scenic, especially with some of the fall colors. The Arroyo Creek added to the beauty during the ride. Part of the trail is closed while construction on Hy 84 continues.
