Riders used to be able to access the river trail across a dirt bridge across the "Cross Valley Canal" as can be seen in an aerial photo on mapquest. (sorry, I tried to attach to it but can't figure it out.) However, now that they have fixed it for us, the trail is blocked by a gate between the canal and the "Goose Lake Slough" to the north. So now we have to cross a bike/pedestrian bridge to get to the river (which we were told we aren't supposed to ride on). It's actually not a really good idea to ride over this bridge anyway since it makes a blind 90 degree turn on the other side and speeding bikes may not see you in time, so be vigilant! I took some photos that I'll publish in a day or two, there are some really good possibilities at this area, but some definite problems also.

I went by the staging area today. (5-30-09) A new chain link fence has been installed that cuts off all access from the East end of the staging area. We used to ride around the end of the fence at the edge of the canal but that is impossible now. Is riding across the bicycle bridge our only option at the moment? I was told horses were not to use the bicycle bridge, has that changed?
