Route map for Arroyo Verde - Geronimo Loop by Josh Spiker on plotaroute.com

Description:  Nice local to Ventura trail is a great option when you don't have time to drive to longer single track trail. Many opt for a few laps to get in their longer distance. The trail is easy with just the right amount of climbing that leads you up to some gorgeous ocean views.   Because of its local nature, it can get crowded so we recommend early morning for the best running. Bathrooms are located in the parking lot.

Can I bring my dog? Yes. Arroyo Verde is also a wonderful local dog park. Off leash on the lawn is permitted from 6am-9am all days except Monday. Dogs must be on leash when on the trail.

How to get there: from either the 101 or the 126, take Victoria avenue north to Foothill Blvd. Turn left and the park will be just over half a mile on the right. From downtown Ventura take Main Street east to Seaward Ave (this will become Foothill) and the park will be on the left in just over 2 miles. The address is 5000 Foothill Road.  Google map

Parking: is plentiful and free during the week. There is a small parking fee on the weekends. There is the option to park on Foothhill, but be careful of traffic.
