The Inland Rail Trail gives Vista a calmer way across town
The Inland Rail Trail is a separated bikeway and walkway through North County, with Vista segments that help connect neighborhoods, streets, and daily destinations.
The Inland Rail Trail is useful because it can serve daily trips as well as weekend rides. SANDAG describes it as a Class I bikeway through Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, and unincorporated San Diego County.
Class I means the path is separated from vehicle traffic and is meant for people walking, riding, or rolling. Vista pieces connect with streets such as Cherimoya Drive, Mar Vista Drive, and Civic Center Drive as the project builds out.
Check SANDAG before planning a through ride. Some segments are complete, while others are project pieces with their own timing.
