Took about 1 1/2 hr. Mostly flat Interesting ride through residential streets in leisure world to the north gate. Then along the north part of leisure World wall with a freeway exit on the right some trees but not very fun. Going south a lot of industrial wasteland but then all of a sudden along the river it becomes very beautiful halfway into the ride. Best part was ending up at seal Beach for lunch. All in all I’d say it covers a lot of interesting territory and it’s a very easy ride it doesn’t take very long to end up in a cute destination. Seeing los Alamitos bay w/ Long Beach in the distance and then driving along the beach to the pier is great .We will do again

The San Gabriel River Bike Trail runs along the edge of the San Gabriel River from Los Angeles into the Pacific Ocean.

I live in Seal Beach College Park East for more than 30 years. I ride bike on this trail couple times a month. The longest one was from pier to Free way 105. There are many nice parks along the path so that restroom is not a problem. You can also bike into the park to see ducks in the lake. Or watch people fly model airplanes. There is a very nice walking trail in El Dorado park with a very beautiful creek.

Trail goes to the beach, helmet a must. watch out for some high speed bicycle riders! recommended on a sunny day. MeuterMedia

The river bike trail is always a nice area to ride along the riverbed to the rivers end at the beach. It also goes to the mountains but I have never done that trek.Coming soon at the river end will be a new restaurant which is being remodeled. So keep your eyes open.. I do not recommend riding at night due to the homeless or walking it as it is mainly bicycles and many ride very fast. Enjoy your bike ride!
