The Santa Ana River Trail is a 31.2 mile long system of paved and unpaved pathways that extends from Huntington Beach to Corona in Southern California. The trail follows alongside the channel for the river then through the natural areas adjacent to the river. The route takes it past local parks and schools and it serves as a way for inland residents to get to the beach without having to deal with traffic.
The trail goes past commercial districts, residential neighborhoods, golf courses, office parks, industrial complexes and wetlands. The trail crosses numerous major roadways, but there are underpasses at most of the intersections. There is an elevation change of 400 feet along the entire route of the trail.
