Highlights

The Joe Rodota Trail is 2.8 miles of paved trail that runs along an abandoned railroad line. The trail is a segment of the West County Trail and offers an opportunity for families with young children to experience an outdoor outing for walking, bicycle riding, horseback riding, and roller skating. The trail meanders along agricultural ranches, and the Laguna of Santa Rosa. There are signs of the historic railroad throughout the property. Three bridges are on top of the old train trestles. The trail is especially popular in the Spring with a burst of color from wildflowers. The trail is an excellent place for year-round bird watching.
