Reviewed 2026-10-22. County’s public park map specifically identifies 4.33 total bicycle-path miles and the 3.46-mile perimeter circuit; these are different measures, not additive. Current county park page remains the access source. The dated map is not a fresh inspection of every pavement panel or dock approach. 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.
