The Guadalupe River Trail in downtown San Jose is a paved path for exercise or commuting by bike. Starting near the Children's Discovery Museum, the trail runs northward and is easily accessible via light rail and major cross streets. It provides opportunities for bird watching and people watching along the mostly flat, paved surface. The trail is popular for biking, running, and walking, with accessible parking, benches, and picnic areas. While the trail is ideal for daytime use, sections near downtown may have some litter and encampments, making it less advisable to ride here after sunset.
