Modoc Road Multi-use Bike Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Exemplary paved bike trail parallel to Modoc road along the Coastal Bike Route, avoiding potentially dangerous traffic. Unfortunately it currently ends at Burro Arroyo, even though from here to the west there are a couple of miles of parkland on the south side of the road that could be perfect to continue the trail. Hope local bike activits succeed in lobbying for the continuation of the trail.
