Santa Ana River Trail at Riverview Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In Orange probably the most appealing section of the river trail. Running alongside the Riverview Park and Golf Course. Some green and trees, instead of the concrete wasteland that the it is further down.

Santa Ana River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycle path going up and down the Santa Ana River. Good asphalt surface, long distances. But although called a river, it is best described as a concrete channel. While the path offers a good ride, the environment is not very visually appealing.

Angel Stadium

Highlight • Monument

Angel Stadium of Anaheim is the home of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Santa Ana River Trail passes right by the stadium, so you get a great view. As you can imagine, it can get pretty busy on the trail on a game day.

Hicks Canyon Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Cycle, foot and riding trail up in Eastwood. Connects Portola Parkway to Culver Road. It has a paved foot and cycle path, and separate sand/gravel path for horse riding - or to take your gravel bike for a spin.

Santa Ana River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Foot and cycle path along the Santa Ana River. Asphalt surface, mostly good with occasional cracks. Crosses roads via underpasses, thus miles and miles of cycling possible.
The river though is a barren concrete wasteland. Visually not very stimulating.
And remember that wind is mostly blowing from the ocean inland, so expect headwind when you ride down towards Newport Beach ;-)
