There are a few different trails in the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area. The trails on the northern bank intersect multiple times so that you can create different sized loops to run. There are paved paths close to the water, along with some dirt paths more inland. All the trails are pretty flat and not too populated.

It’s a lonely stretch, but it’s peacefully etched for a runner to catch a few quality miles.
