Reviewed 2026-10-22. County’s published bicycle map distinguishes paved hiking/equestrian/bicycle paths from hiking-only pond paths and provides this public park start. A 2020 selected route map is historical material, not a current flood or repair all-clear. County full HTML retrieval was denied; primary published map and address evidence are kept distinct. Check present gates and creek conditions. 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.
