Not only does the Iron Horse Bike Trail serve cyclists, it also serves recreationalists of all types–and even commuters. It was a long time coming, but well worth the wait. The trail was established after thirty years of planning.

Fun fact: the trail follows the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way established in 1891 and abandoned in 1977.Ĭompleted in 2014, the Iron Horse Bike Trail spans 32 miles of California landscape and history. The Iron Horse Bike Trail is a multi-use, whole-access trail between the cities of Concord and Pleasanton.

If you want to take your bike out for an adventure in the Livermore region, you won’t be disappointed with the Iron Horse Bike Trail. People who love cycling have that special streak of adventure: experiencing new places in a challenging physical way, often with wind whipping past.
