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

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 ;-)

Talbert Regional Park

Highlight • Forest

Spanning nearly 200 acres, Talbert Regional Park offers scenic trails perfect for hiking, biking and jogging. A joint project between the parks department and Coastal Conservancy, this nature preserve cultivates native plant zones, recreating the landscape that existed much before modern development took over the area. As an exceptional recreational facility and wildlife refuge, Talbert allows visitors to immerse themselves in six botanical areas modeled after the changing climate along the Santa Ana River. With year-round access, it's a treasured spot to experience natural beauty.

Huntington Beach Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.

Big A Sign at Angel Stadium

Highlight • Monument

Bike along the Santa Ana River Trail for a fantastic view of Angel Stadium’s iconic “Big A” sign, a 230-foot-tall landmark that originally served as the stadium's scoreboard. The halo atop the sign lights up after every Angels victory, glowing even brighter for home wins. Be sure to avoid the surrounding streets on game days, as the area can get crowded.
