What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Paseo de la Resaca Trail for its peaceful atmosphere and suitability for biking and jogging, highlighting the enjoyable 7-mile car-free route. While generally safe, some advise caution regarding loose dogs or potential encounters. The trail is recommended for family fun and relaxation.
"Nice bike trail, always nice to go for morning or evening jog. Pretty safe, but still be cautious for loose dogs or creeps. I see city maintenance workers most of the time so not a lot of trash around or any of that. I love this trail and the way you can get just about 7 miles and no cars getting in the way."
