Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh city pathway page explicitly invites cycling on paved multi-use river paths. Facility directory/retained city park record identifies Freeman Park, 1290 Science Center Drive. Current five-mile, 12-mile network and older over-seven-mile descriptions differ in scope; this selected return uses none of them as its own distance. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
