Features:
The Obern Trail Bike Path is a a 21 mile paved bike loop along the water, taking in many sights in Santa Barbara and Goleta. The wide and well signed trail includes Goleta Park, UCSB Campus, and some of Santa Barbara proper. We’ve mapped a section from the UCSB campus through Goleta Beach Park, and then a great section alongside the Atascadero Creek, which has a dirt path making it easier for runners.
