Multi-Use Trail
The 8.5 mile trail parallels Arizona Highway 95 through town from north to south. This trail is ideal for the moderately experienced rider with flat, paved trails with some climbs and descents. The path is easy to follow and offers a nice view of the entire city and lake. A round trip on the trail can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours, depending on your speed.
On the south end of town, the trail begins at McCulloch Bl. S and ends on the north side of town at Palo Verde Bl N.. The trail begins and ends on the east side of Arizona 95, but does cross over the highway several times. Street parking is available on side streets all along the trail.
If you are not a strong cyclist or used to hill work, you might want to avoid the segment from McCulloch Blvd. S south towards Mulberry Ave., as the four-mile stretch is a fairly steep climb.
