If you are attracted to the rolling, wine country landscapes and historical architecture of Sonoma Valley, the Sonoma Bike Path won't disappoint.
Located in the heart of historic Sonoma, just over an hour from downtown San Francisco, the rail-trail passes scenic vineyards, historic mansions, beautiful parks and an old railroad depot museum.
Access to the Sonoma Bike Path is near the historic Sonoma Plaza; parking is available at Sebastiani Vineyard and Winery on 4th Street and Lovall Valley Drive. This trail continues for 1.5 miles to Maxwell Farms Regional Park.
Another option is to park your car at Maxwell Farms Regional Park just off State Route 12. After crossing Verona Avenue and taking a right on SR 12, you will pick up the trail about 0.25 mile down the road on your left. This marked western end of the trail, which is heavily used by local commuters, is tucked tastefully between a residential area and small Olsen Park.
