What to Bring
Water, sun protection, and a repair kit are essential — services are spread out between towns. A wide-tire or gravel bike is recommended for the crushed-stone surface.
Trail Etiquette
Keep to the right, pass on the left with a clear call-out, and yield to other trail users at road crossings. Pack out what you pack in.
Best Times to Visit
Spring and fall offer the mildest riding conditions in the Delta. Summer can be hot and humid — plan for an early start and extra water.
