Notes
We discovered this trail while revisiting the Ojai Valley Trail. While it has a separate name, it is in reality a continuation of the Ojai Valley Trail between Ventura and Foster Park. You can now skate continuously from Ventura to Ojai - almost 17 miles!
We only had time to skate the northern third of the trail which is mostly flat and smooth - a great place to stretch out. The scenery varies from rural to semi-industrial with views of the mountains on either side of the valley. One of the great features is the art emplacements all along the trail. Take time to check them out. For more information, see the link to the trail map and guide below.
If you've skated this trail, please provide any feed back you can.
