The river trail extends over quite a few miles. There are areas for walking, bike riding, moutain bike riding, horseback, The trail varies in difficulty from easy to quite strenous.

I love this trail for a leisurely walk, a power hike and also the off-road rail trail and multiple trail networks for mountain biking. It's the best thing Redding has ever done, and I'm a local, born and raised!! Check it out, you'll be glad you did! We like to ride from Shasta Dam to Keswick Dam! More

The upper Sacramento river trail by the Keswick dam offers both paved and unpaved trails. Paved goes up the west side of the river and dirt is on the east side. There are some amazing views and fun hills. More

Runs 26 miles along and over and around the river and thru the park and is a favorite of bikes, runners, walkers strollers (with and w/out babies) skateboards, dogs, etc. There is space for everyone. Occasional stretches have abundant mosquitoes. More

Great trail, beautiful vistas and the Sundial Bridge is an added bonus. No real complaints here, other than the ocassional distracted bicyclist that ruin your day by causing a mishap or crash. More
