The Iron Horse Trail is San Ramon's everyday trail spine
The Iron Horse Trail runs through San Ramon as a flat paved route that links neighborhoods, schools, shopping areas, transit, and regional trails.
In San Ramon, the Iron Horse Trail works like a quiet cross-town street for walking, biking, and rolling through the middle of daily life.
The San Ramon stretch runs about 4.24 miles. It is flat, paved, and wheelchair accessible, and it links neighborhoods with schools, commercial areas, transit stops, other trails, and community facilities. Picture it as local transportation as much as recreation.
The longer regional trail reaches about 32 miles, so San Ramon is one piece of a much bigger East Bay route. For a simple trip, start with the part closest to your errand or park. For a longer ride, check the East Bay Regional Park District alerts first, since closures can happen by segment.
Where to see it
