Surface: Paved waterfront park paths. Short waterfront course with local ramps and wind; no surveyed slope. No surveyed maximum slope or accessibility certification is supplied.
Crossings and shared use
Yield to pedestrians, use the signed bicycle/shared-use route, slow at crossings and blind bends, and walk uncomfortable ramps. Authorized maintenance or emergency vehicles may appear. The written route defines the separated portion; nearby roads and unmarked walking or technical trails are excluded. Check current device rules before bringing an e-bike.
Hours, costs and access
Choose daylight and follow current posted park, trail and parking hours. Seasonal facilities and temporary closures can differ. General park entry has no admission fee; parking, ferry travel and other services can charge separately.
Reviewed October 21, 2026. The state's ten-mile park-path figure is a network, not a lap. General park admission is free; parking and ferry services can charge separately. Obey current restoration/construction signs. This is source-based planning, not a field inspection or a guarantee of present-day conditions. Stop at closures; do not improvise a traffic-road bypass.
