San Luis Rey River Trail
Oceanside, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
A flat, paved Class I trail of about 9 miles one way along the river, from Neptune Way near the coast to N Santa Fe Ave and SR-76, with no cars, stop signs or traffic lights. The Foussat Road access at mile 3.2 has a parking lot and restrooms and sits next to the Prince Memorial (Alex Road) Skatepark. Kids love watching skydivers land at the Oceanside airport along the way. Dogs must be on a leash of 6 feet or less.
