A great place to take your family for some exercise and fresh air. I usually ride my ebike on this path/trailhead beginning on Yucca Loma bridge near Spring Valley Lake. This path takes you to lower campus of VVC in one direction towards Bear Valley Road and you will be facing the new Aldi shopping center at the end of the trail. On the Victorville side expect to see more shaded areas due to the homes of SVL right next to the path. It is paved and divided path that bikes and pedestrians to enjoy. There are no restrooms or anything on this path. At the end of the path there are bike pumps/tools/air if you need it. This is where most people park entering through Fish Hatchery Road and parking unloading their bikes or beginning there walk/run. Parking is limited in this area, but if it gets busy people park in the dirt. Also note there are poop bags if you bring your furry one. Be sure to grab a couple before you start your run/walk. Nobody wants to see a pile of poop or step on it. Pick up after your pet. What most people don't know is this path continues in Apple Valley however you must go east on Bear Valley over the bridge then cross the street to the Jess Ranch shopping center. The path again begins towards the Cinemark side of the shopping center. This path takes you again along the Mojave Riverbed behind the Jess Ranch planned community. On the AV side there are benches ever so often if you need to take a breather. It would be great if they could connect it somehow with some pedestrian bridge or something over Bear Valley, but who knows if that will ever happen lol. As others have mentioned if you head back along the path towards Apple Valley and Yucca Loma bridge the path splits and one takes you under the bridge into Mojave Narrows. It is great ride into Mojave Narrows in a brisk morning. I wouldn't do a walk alone at sunset or night as Mojave Narrows and the path itself is very heavy with vegetation and who knows who is lurking in there. While biking at night I see mom's pushing their stroller on there self phone not aware of their surroundings and always makes me a little anxious thinking someone could harm them, so I always keep an eye out when I'm on the path The path ends in Mojave Narrows and makes a u-turn and leads you back in the other direction. It the morning you see lots of fisherman and families out by the water. Couple things to note: The path is long, if you bring your kids, bike, etc be prepared with water and be prepared to carry your young kid if they say they are tired. lol. Don't go biking, walking or whatever alone where you could put yourself in danger. If you go during the day or when weather is warm there are a lot of tiny bugs. They will get in your face, mouth, etc if you are biking. Where some sunglasses and a mouth covering or you will get a mouthful of them in your face. It is extremely hot in the summer during the day. So again bring water and dress for the weather. read more

Ugly walk. View of drainage area and people's back yards. Homeless camps and creeps along the way.

Place is great for a good run with the kids! I'm able to take my wagon. The kids enjoy going.

Nice long 3 mile trail not a lot of shade so you want to go early in the morning or later in the evening but it's mostly cemented so you can take your bikes or just your feet read more

Clean, wide trail with benches. You must bring your own water. Or buy some before you go. You can bike, walk, roller blade, whatever. It is a paved path about 4 or 5 feet wide. Dogs can come. Put them on a leash and bring doggy clean up bags. Park at Jess Ranch shopping center and take the path along the river bed. I removed a star because there are no bathrooms along the route. Also no trash cans or water fountains/ bublers. read more

Start at stater bros! It's on the same side of the road as the path and it's better maintained. I was biking over glass at the beginning. It's a nice short easy path good for biking/roller blading/etc. I would not drive over 20 minutes to go here though. So if I'm you live in the area I'd recommend it. read more

Such a great place regardless of bike riding, dog walking, or a just out for a bit of fresh air. Would like to see trash cans along the trail. The view is by far my favorite part especially after the snow. read more

Great place to take your run, walk, walk your dog, skate, and/or bike. It seems like a safe environment, it's serene, and people are friendly here. Best place to park is behind Best Buy, that's if you want to start from the beginning of the trail. There are benches along the trail just in case you want to chill/rest. In total, this trail is nearly 3 miles long (almost 6 miles going back and forth). read more
