Description
With nice views of the Santa Ana River, this is only the official portion of the trail, which extends both east and west from what is shown. There are also plenty of trails down in the river bed itself, although those are rocky and sandy. The western end of the trail can have homeless encampments. As noted, at some point this will (hopefully) be part of the complete Santa Ana River Trail, extending from Huntington Beach to South Fork in the San Bernardino National Forest.
