Decent place to get out and walk or jog. Just know that the Salinas river is seasonal, flowing sporadically during winter months, and always drying up in the hot summers. The trail can be a little overrun with homeless at times, and it is within proximity to the freeway. But if you are looking for a decent trail to walk on close to city limits, this is a decent option.

Can be nice when there is a nice stream flowing this river bed is home to many homeless drug addicts. Can be very dangerous if you're hiking it alone. There's tents and bedding and garbage along the river which is a shame evidently the city of paso police are not interested and not doing a good enough job to keep them out. This river bed needs to be cleaned up homeless shelters need to be built for the ones who need it. I know it's not necessarily our problem to shelter these people but it really is our job as citizens, as caring human beings, to reach out to these people. Winter is just around the corner and it's getting colder every year. A little human kindness goes a long way.

You are never "in nature" on this walk. There are houses on one side that you always have in view, and the other side you can see and hear the freeway at all times. It's smelly, too! A very easy and flat walk, but definitely not for me at all.

Well maintained trails and some trails left natural as our local trails advocates prefer. Sadly many/ most of the formerly beautiful signs are in need of replacement. Fresh air, safe place to walk or bicycle and enjoy being outside.

Be aware the homeless live along the river. Funny that the home owners are the ones that don't pick up after their dogs. Either way, if you watch for the poo and don't mind the locals the walk is pleasant. If you're lucky patient and quiet maybe you'll see some deer or the egrets hunt frogs.

This is not a good trail. We walked though an active crime scene with blood on the ground. Shopping carts everywhere. Not a safe place to walk.

Nice place but the neighborhood people need to learn to keep their noses to themselves. I felt like every eye was on me from the time i pulled up to the time i drove away. which was about an hour. Really creepy people. really.

Love to go here with my son

Not safe to walk by the river.

Lots of trash and homeless camps. No river

This is a bright neighborhood park, and the walk is mostly clean and well kept. That said, I think river walk is a bit of a misnomer because I think the river is gone for the season/with the drought? 🤔 One side of the walk is along the dried up river bed with a park with fields and a playground. There are benches and all in all it was pretty nice. If you keep walking (towards the shopping district) to the longer end of the walk it's less scenic. However, we did find a small creek (ghost of river past?!). You'll walk behind the Khols and JCPenny's and it's just not super great especially since the river is mostly gone and what's left is a few discarded shopping carts. That said the weather was beautiful and the first half of the walk is nice.

(Translated by Google) It was very comfortable but at the time I went it was very dry, but excellent in my opinion (Original) Era muy confortable pero en la epoca que fui estaba muy seco, pero excelente en mi opinion

Nice scenic veiwqs

A great walk, needs some litter removed a shame what some people do

(Translated by Google) Very pretty (Original) Muy bonito

Fun and cool waters

Passing thru town, stopped to walk dog, homeless folks was sad and littered with many grocery carts.

Great place to live.

Needs a lot of maintenance. Could be really nice with a little attention.

I don't like that the homeless have taken over the riverbed not to safe.

Signage is peeling and faded. Shopping carts everywhere. Homeless people in river area.

Very nice walk but the homeless seem to be trashing the area. I wouldn't want my wife to walk this alone

Not maintained. Old shopping carts and trash on the trail.

Nice place to go for a run

Nice place to stroll and walk your doggie daughter.

Blocked access behind JC Penny's. Cannot get my dog stroller in. Why?

Nice walk by the river but the river was dry.

It's like its own little world down there. Stay safe.

Honestly, Oregon, in my opinion, has some of the most beautiful scenery in the US. This is a small taste

Started Clearing it Out! But Still Need Alot More Done!

Nice place for a quiet walk.

A beauiful place!! Enjoyed the peaceful and the nature.

It's very pretty but I hiked all the way to the highway and there's not a drop of water in this river. Lovely walk all the same.

Very nice walk with opportunities to get Close to the river

River was dried up, no water. Trails were full bloom of weeds, unpleasant path in many areas.

Great place to bike or walk,and drink beer.

Fun trail in the middle of town

Homeless encampments and not a safe place to run/walk alone. Such a shame the city spent the money to put this is and it is now overrun by homeless that create a mess and start fires.

Nice walk and views

Not much to see, especially when there is little water in the river.

Quiet and scenic

Always take walks it's a beautiful scene

So beautiful and relaxing. I would give it give stars if there was water year around.

Nice walking path.

It was nice but hot

Beautiful scenery.

Nice to see some water in the Salinas River...

It's always a work in progress, being cleaned up as they go, it is a large area to try and keep maintained.

Nice place
