The Santa Ana River Bicycle Path offers a unique road cycling experience, transitioning from serene natural river channels with mountain views to bustling urban centers and finally to the Pacific coast. You'll ride on a well-maintained, wide asphalt path, enjoying varied scenery that includes shaded sections, glimpses of the San Gabriel Mountains, and iconic landmarks like Angel Stadium before reaching the beautiful Huntington State Beach.
This moderate 46.9-mile (75.5 km) route, with a gentle 415 feet (126 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 3 hours and 33 minutes. It's highly accessible with many starting points, making it easy to plan a ride that suits your fitness level. While largely flat, expect moderate climbs if you're heading inland, especially on the return journey.
Known as a "bicycle freeway" for its grade-separated intersections, this trail is a significant multi-use facility in Southern California. It was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1977, highlighting its importance and the diverse environments it connects, from riverbanks to cityscapes and coastal views.
