To: Oxford Court in Petaluma

In Petaluma, the 6.6-mile Ridge Trail ventures from a rural regional park and many neighborhoods and parks, including downtown; it also follows both the Petaluma River and Lynch Creek for a stretch. Northeast of US 101, you have an opportunity to explore newer neighborhoods of Petaluma. There is a 1-mile gap between Helen Putnam and the city route. The city section is an excellent bike ride; however, in May 2017 the route lacked Ridge Trail signage. This is a temporary route until the planned route along the Petaluma River, Shollenberger Park, and Adobe Creek Trail can be finished.

Alternative 6.2 mile option in the City of Petaluma is from Sunnyslope Avenue to Casa Grande Road in Petaluma

Elevation Gain/Loss 70 feet/50 feet one-way
