This is an awesome video. Thank you for taking time and sharing!
Thank you, that was an awesome video of some trails in the area.
Yay! This is awesome. Cool video!
Thanks for this video! Will be checking these out soon
A thoughtful and insightful look into so many underrated trails here in OC. Quality video. Thank you for putting this together! The sound in your video has improved too!
Thanks man I appreciate the all the effort 👍 this is the type of video you hope for💆🏻♂️
Thank you for watching!
Dope dude! Thanks for taking your time to make this
Thanks for watching!
Thanks. We are new to bikes and look forward to visiting these trails.
Very cute video! We have never been there and are planning a birthday outing there. I can already see we're going to have so much fun! Thank you for sharing and keep having fun. ❤
This was awesome thank you!
Excellent footage! Love it!
Thanks!
This is GREAT, thank you!!! Just moved here a few years ago and I'm really getting back into riding road/bike ways.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching! I hope you get the chance to check some of these paths out! Cycling is a great hobby!
Thanks for sharing
Fantastic video. Like most people during quarantine, I got a bike lol. Looking for a bike path to ride and this is just the video I need.
As of 22 July 2023 the SART is very safe, doesn't smell anymore, generally a really good ride. The only bad thing about clearing the homeless population and "rerouting" the trail as you put it, they removed all of the public restrooms. Even the porta pottys that were a bit further up the trail. Oh well, it's a much better ride now. Thanks for the cool video, I'm going to have to go south a bit now. I live close to Angel Stadium but this video showed me some good stuff
Thanks for your status update! I agree, the sart is a fine ride as of today.
And thank you for watching! The south side is a very nice ride once you start smelling the ocean air. Some parks, open spaces etc. Hope you get a chance to check it out!
I ride only the Rio Hondo river trail, I’m looking for other options, definitely this video helps a lot, thanks
Hi TOSC,
Thank you for this video. I really hope Californian urban areas can add more Class 1 bike paths to city design for the future.
Fantastic video! Love the drone footage as well. I would also add #11: Salt Creek Trail (from Chapparosa Park to Salt Creek Beach). It's a short one, but one of my favorites. 😎
Thank you for the great suggestion! Perhaps one day I’ll make a P2 to this video to rank #11-15!
I ride on SART there’s a really rough patch after Tustin ave but I usually ride to HB. Great video
Awesome video
Bro thank u for this vid looks like my favorite’s list just grew. Thumbs up & subscribe
Thank you for watching and subscribing!!
Great paths, I’ve been on a few.
I like Fullerton Loop too :)
Wow I was looking at this for new bike paths to see that the one I ride the most is the #1 path 🎉
My favorite ~2hr ride is definitely linking together Mountains to the Sea, Newport Back Bay, and the Shady Canyon trail (through UCI campus)
Agreed! What a great ride!
Well done. Subscribed.
At 70+ I'll be cycling again on a Yamaha CrossCore and may have to bus or train in then ride home to Long Beach or visa versa.
I had no idea the OC was so bike friendly. Thanks again
Thanks for subscribing! Honestly, I could’ve extended this video to cover the top 20. OC is secretly a great place to cycle! Have fun on your upcoming rides!
good video!
Great job! Im a regular on the SART and looking to try out some of your suggestions. .
Yeah! I love Santa Ana River Trail and I ride 7 days a week.
I have been riding the SART and I haven't spotted any homeless. Trail in clean and safe. Enjoy the ride.
Thank you for the feedback on this! That’s great for all the viewers to read.
Just bought a great E-Bike. This video was very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for subscribing Tim! I also have videos up for San Bernardino and Riverside county! San Diego & LA county are both in the works!
@@TrailsofCalifornia can't wait to see them. I'll be riding all your suggestions one by one.
I was looking for new trails. I run the Huntington Beach and Santa Ana river trail frequently on my long run. I will try the others long one as well thank to you.
Great video! I would really appreciate a 2022 update.
I would be happy to work on that!
AWESOME VIDEO!! Wish YOU did a TOP 10 Bike Paths for LA!
Hopefully a video later this year! I don’t have everything filmed for that video quite yet due to covid impacts.
@@TrailsofCalifornia Gotcha! Yea, just whenever you get a chance!
I used to work in Newport Beach a few feet from the Newport Back Bay and never stop to check it out. Drove by everyday for 13 years and never took the time to check it out. I'll do it soon tho...
i did Trails #1 & #3, and you're absolutely right about the Wind in the afternoon it's extremely windy so bring Vest/Windbreaker if possible. Went from Bolsa Chica State Beach to Huntington and went through the Santa Ana riverbed all the way to Anaheim & back in time for Bon Fires at Bolsa Chica State Beach. Not sure if they allow Overnight parking/camping on the beach now but it used to be Overnight beach parking/camping $45 per Vehicle. Probably a lil too fast for a Date, but fun experience with significant others or partner.
Getting back into fixed gear riding
Didn't know Santa Ana had nearby trails that were stunning
The city definitely has some hidden gems within it!
I love the aliso creek trails
Same here! One of the best in OC!
If something feels unsafe, it’s probably unsafe. Simple and Genius, thank you for addressing the homeless, it is an issue and a safety problem. Very real view thanks
February 2021 I ride the santa ana river trail every morning.. NO HOMELESS thank you sheriffs very safe clean they run street sweepers every week
Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Is there any way we could see the map you kept referring to in the video?
Thanks for the question! I just added the link in the video description but for you here it is!

Great job on the video! No trail to recommend in North Orange County?
Sure! I would recommend the Brea Trail & Coyote creek starting in La Habrá or the El Cajon trail in Yorba Linda! All great but just nearly missed the top 10 for this video 👍 thanks for watching!
Excellent video. One suggestion I have is if you would tell people how to easily find the entrance / parking to these trails. Thank you
Great suggestion! If I posted an address to close by parking spots in the description box for each path would that help?
@@TrailsofCalifornia definitely. thank you
@@maxlilo3 Updated! You should see new parking addresses in the description box. Hope it helps!
The free OCTA bike map is a good thing to carry. It's easy to get lost especially in the Irvine area where the paths go all over the place.
john burwell I assume the can be had at local bike shops.
@@kevinmontgomery1383 I'm not sure. I got one mailed directly from OCTA website. The Franko's maps are good too but not as detailed for OC.
@@johnburwell6609 Thanks for letting me know!
Liked! FANTASTIC! Exactly what I needed for a Valentine's day ride with my wife. We have to drive 90 minutes to get to these locations but happy to do so to make it a day. Question: Are any of these paths in a loop so that one can start and end at the same point, but not have to backtrack on the same path? Thanks again.
Great news! I hope you two have a great Valentine’s Day. The only real “loop” trail on this list will be the Shady Canyon/turtle rock loop in south Irvine. It’s a beautiful route that takes you in and out of the wilderness. The loop will also take you along the 405 on the north end so see if you can spot it when traveling to it!
I have a map in the video describing this route for the full loop. So check that out! Have fun!
Note: there’s one hill in particular that is pretty steep at the end of the ride (if traveling the direction this video recommends) outside of “quail hill community park”. Otherwise the rest is very flat. An ebike may be a good option as well for an easier loop!
@@TrailsofCalifornia Thank you! Much grateful.
Can you let us know which trails we can ride ebikes on (with a throttle)?
Yes absolutely! Looks like you’re talking about a class 2 ebike. My video here explains everything you need to know!

Have u been in San Gabriel River Trail system ending in Seal Beach?
Yes I have! All the way from seal beach to Azusa and back! One of the longest continuous rides in the region. Love it! I would like to film a video for that trail at some point!
I’d put The Strand at number one in California
Would be great if you go over where to park in these trails..
I’ve had a few people recently ask for this. I’ve added parking directions for each trail listed in the description. Hope that helps!
Thank you man..i did not know the sart is located just near my parents house..ill be riding this awesome trail when i come visit them..
@@martiawesome the SART is one of my all time favorites! I hope you have a good time riding it when you visit!
Man if only you could do other states too..like neighboring states..this channel would explode if you do that..a lot of people just want to ride bike paths..including me and my family but its been hard to find good bike path..
Thank you for your comment! Yes! I hope to one day build it up enough to first expand to the rest of California and then neighboring states! Resources always being the main factor (I run the channel on my own). If the channel continues growing hopefully I can devote more time to production and expand to these other areas like the ones you’re from! 🙌
hello thanks for the video I`m new to the area and I was looking for a guide book or paper maps any suggestions thanks again
Glad you enjoyed the video!
As far as guides go, I personally reference this book quite often. "enCYCLEpedia Southern California 2nd Edition" You can find it on Amazon. I have no affiliation to it but it's a great book. It breaks down bike routes in LA, OC, SD and the Inland Empire. Definitely worth the $20.00!
"Franko Maps" are also great bike specific maps for the entire region. You might find them in local bike stores like I have or also on amazon. They appear in my videos from time to time. In fact, they appeared a few times in this one.
Hope that helps, Thanks for watching!
@@TrailsofCalifornia thanks so much for your reply
Just discovered this channel. I thought OC was a terrible place to cycle; I’m going to explore these trails.
WHERE IS THE STARTING POINT FOR ALISO CREEK PARKWAY BIKE TRAIL?
From the south, park anywhere around the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park
28373 Alicia Pkwy, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656
Thank You 👍🏻
Can you do Northern California too. Or there is a channel
Would love to one day! I have plans but not the resources. Spread the channel around to help me get there one day!
I remembered your comment and wanted to add that I’ve started a new channel focusing on northern and central cal. Follow youtube.com/@ridecalifornia-qj9cv !
Are there bike parks in the oc?
What type of bike parks?
@@TrailsofCaliforniaI wondered if there is a park designed specifically for mountain bikes or any kind of bicycle (non-motorized) Thanks.
There are plenty of mountain bike trails around the OC area. Maybe not all designed exclusively for MTB but still great options. Try the bommer canyon nature loop in Irvine, Peter canyon regional park in Tustin or the Fullerton loop! Hope that helps.
Well the closest to me is number 1 😂😂😂😂
😄 thanks for watching the video!
Although pristine and beautiful as the video indicates, the Huntington Beach path is not so safe. Since this video was posted there has been a proliferation of persons riding electric things: Ebikes, E unicycle things, E skate boards, etc. These persons move at great rates of speed with no regard to bicycle riders and pedestrians. The expecirence of pedaling a beach cruiser along this path has essentially been ruined.
