Confirmed from Santa Ana River Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Paved, multi-use trail that runs 120 mi. along the Santa Ana River from Huntington Beach.

Great trail to ride without traffic. Went from Norco through Riverside to San Bernardino. 20 miles, 40 round trip training ride. Trail ends-begins at Waterman Av.
Great biking path, just gotta be careful on some of the steep parts. Road is smooth. about 15 miles from tip to tip.
