This trail runs perpendicular to several main roads in the area so you'll have to cross traffic every mile or so, but the in between parts are lovely. There's a stream near part of it, bridges and the back of houses. You'll meet people walking their dogs and biking on here often. When you get to the parking lot, park right by the entrance. The lot is huge so if you head toward Torrence, you’re going through wrong way. Head behind the water park.

This area is fairly well-maintained for the removal of invasive plants. There is a ton of wildlife in the area. Accessibility: In the paved parking lot off of Paxton Avenue there do not appear to be any designated accessible parking spaces with striped access aisles. The trail surface is dirt or wooden boardwalk (with edge barriers) and typically at least four feet wide. The estimated grade is gentle (all 3% or less).
