Explore California’s Santa Ana River Trail – A Bicycling Adventure



The Santa Ana River Trail spans over 120 miles through Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties in Southern California. The trail is one of the largest non-motorized social boulevards in the United States. It is utilized by school kids, workers, walkers, runners, bicyclists, horse riders, bird watchers and its parks and open spaces are social gathering places for kids, families and communities. It is a favorite bicycling route in California. The Santa Ana Rover Trail is paved with handicap accessibility. Along the Trail there are parking areas, picnic tables, restrooms and local restaurants.

Friends of the Santa Ana River Trail is a volunteer community group involved in trail safety education, eco-friendly preservation and recreational multi-use of the Santa Ana River Trail system. Also, known as the Santa Ana River Bikeway, Santa Ana Bicycle Path and SART. Our goal is to encourage a high quality, family oriented trail system that blends an attractive mix of recreational amenities, neighborhood green space, and local cultural heritage allowing people of all ages and abilities the pleasure of outdoor recreation in a fun and safe environment.

As Santa Ana River Trail advocates our community oriented goal has three main parts: 1) to enhance public safety of the Santa Ana River Trail through public education and volunteer community watch; 2) to encourage the socio-economic recreational use of the Santa Ana River Trail as a conduit for connecting local communities, neighborhoods, families, friends and workplaces together; and 3) to act as the Santa Ana River Trail Mediator resolving trail use disputes, complaints, and injury.

Thanks for the info!!
There are many people that use that trail here.

Mr. Beanz

I hope to make it out there one of these days!

Thanks so much for this effort. My wife and I have been riding a section of this each weekend and this is a great resource to us. We have been taking the bikes down to Green River to ride, but it makes a lot of stuff about our end (starting at Watermen) make a LOT more sense. We will try our local section soon...!

Gaily switching back to the east bank.

Very nice effort, I'll have to make it out to that trail again one of these days...

We need something similar for the San Gabriel River Trail.

I haven't ridden this trail yet and am seeing a lot of conflicting information regarding what is or is not complete. I'll be coming from downtown Riverside and need to know if there is a break in the trail, and if so where it stops and resumes. Any info would be great, a google map with these points would be awesome too.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the info. I was able to get detailed directions late last week.

I went on my first ride of the year, 20 miles. Jumped on at Mission (dog park). Looks like I stopped right before the dirt area without knowing it. A LOT of pedestrian traffic near the parks. Almost hit a skateboarder that was trying to do tricks on the wrong side of the trail with his head down coming at me. The ten people walking behind him didn't help.

I might go out in the other direction next time just to see what its like.
