Pacific Electric Trail
The City of Rancho Cucamonga,
acting as the lead agency, has joined together with surrounding
cities to develop a multi-purpose
trail from Claremont to Rialto. The 21-mile long trail
follows the Southern Pacific railroad corridor which was originally
built for the famous Pacific Electric Railway.

Bicycle Trails
Bicyclists will enjoy our nearly 50 miles of bike trails (over
100 miles are ultimately planned). In a recent survey, 63%
of residents indicated that they ride for recreation on a daily
or weekly basis. Rancho Cucamonga's bicycle trail system consists
of three types of trails:
-
Class I Bike Paths - Completely separated right-of-way
for exclusive use of bicycles
-
Class II Bike Lanes - Striped lane
on road shoulder for preferential use of bicycles
-
Class III
Bike Routes - Signs or pavement markings indicate
that bicycles share roadway with cars

Hiking and Riding Trails
Over 97 miles of public hiking and riding trails are planned,
in addition to the many private trail easements at the rear
of lots within the equestrian areas. There are two types of
public hiking and riding trails in Rancho Cucamonga:
-
Regional Trails - These form the backbone
of the citywide trail system. They are long distance connectors
to the regional
parks, scenic canyons and other open spaces. Regional Trails
are designed for hikers, bikers and equestrians.
-
Community Trails - These trails form
loops of varying length and provide connections to the Regional
Trail system, community
facilities such as parks and schools, and link the private
equestrian trails within subdivisions. Community Trails
are designed for hikers and horse riders.
