Guadalupe River Trail

The Guadalupe River Trail is an 11-mile (18 km) pedestrian and bicycle path in the city of San Jose, California.

This trail is heavily used for both recreation and commuting, as it provides direct access to Downtown San Jose from many of the outlying neighborhoods.

It runs along the river northward, with an under-crossing beneath Blossom Hill Road.

It then passes beneath the highway fly-overs of State Route 85 and ends at Chynoweth Avenue near William H. Cilker Park.

The trail's longer, 9.0 mile lower (northern, downstream) segment starts just south of Interstate 280 around West Virginia Street, just east of SR87.

The eastern trail has surface crossings of West San Carlos Street and Park Avenue before passing by John P. McEnery Park and a surface crossing of San Fernando Street.

The trail continues along the border of Mineta San Jose International Airport, crosses beneath Skyport Drive.

It then passes under the airport green lot access bridge, U.S. Route 101, Trimble Drive, and Montague Expressway.

From the northern terminus of the upper (southern) segment, go east on Chynoweth Avenue, cross to the north side of street at Pearl Avenue, cross under Highway 87 and enter the Highway 87 Bikeway.

The entrance to the eastern bank trail is on Palm Street, just to the north of West Virginia Avenue.

The southern segment of the Los Gatos Creek Trail, which leads to Campbell and Los Gatos can be reached from the southern terminus of the lower Guadalupe River Trail by turning west on West Virginia Street, then south on Delmas Avenue, and then west onto the on-street bike lane on Willow Avenue, which passes through downtown Willow Glen.
