The San Gabriel River is one of the best routes in the entire valley to bike safely without traffic on a dedicated trail from the hills through the sprawling downtown areas to the ocean. The trail runs on the river levee, mostly on the east bank. While the river is mostly a concrete canal, there are a few sections where it passes by parks like here the El Dorado, or private gardens and plant nurseries, adding a few touches of green in this huge metropolitan area that otherwise has few long, dedicated bike routes.

Seal Beach and Pier

Highlight • Beach

Seal Beach is a sandy beach sandwiched between Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and Naple Island. The pier highlights the area, while most of the city streets running north to south provide access to the beach sands. You can even jog down to the water and run on the more packed sand at the shoreline.
