Surface and effort

Crossings and shared use
Yield to pedestrians and slow at junctions, ramps and access drives. Stop at street crossings; do not bypass a path barrier in traffic lanes. Yield to pedestrians, keep right, and slow at blind corners. Stop at barriers; never use a traffic-road detour to bypass a trail closure.
Hours, costs and access
Choose daylight and obey posted trail and parking hours. Avoid extreme heat and carry water; a mapped fountain is not a guarantee of service. Follow current public visitor-parking terms. Reserved facilities and event parking may carry separate charges.
Reviewed 2026-10-22. Current city profile expressly invites bicycles on the asphalt Island loop and gives 3.6 miles. Tourism independently describes the route and trailhead parking. Older guides give 3.8 miles for a different version/extent; the current city figure is used. No specific current loop closure was identified in these profiles; obey event controls and inspect transitions. 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.
