Reviewed 2026-10-22. City’s publicly hosted 2018 parks master plan identifies the established Clovis Old Town Trail and Railroad Park; current Fresno city guidance confirms the paved cycling corridor continues into Clovis. RTC describes 5.9 miles of asphalt trail. Older 5.8-mile city and current registry scopes are not additive mileage. An older city report URL now returns 404 and is replaced by the live city-hosted plan. Check present city street and event signs. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection.
