The San Luis Rey River is mostly a hidden gem due to the brush and plant life growing beside it and in it. The few glimpses you get of it while driving show a big and wide flow of water probably filled with fish and frogs and more. Now it may not be big by some river standards but for the Southern California coastal desert it will make you take a second look.
The path along side the river is a Class I bicycle trail open to walkers, runners, Rollerblades and leashed pets but not horse riding.. It totals just over 7 miles and is flat and safe for all ages.
Access first at Neptune Way Then again at Benet Rd. and on to Foussat Rd., then Douglas Drive and finally College Blvd. Ride or run or skate back and hop on the commuter train near the western end.
There are no night lights.
There are some safety rules and there are information kiosks along the entrances to help you with these.
