rdf:langString The Duarte bicycle path is a Class 1 bike path in Duarte, California that parallels Royal Oaks Drive from Buena Vista Street to Royal Oaks Park (Vineyard Ave) for about 1.6 miles (2.6 km). The trail is paralleled by a wide dirt area on the North side (often used by equestrians, joggers and dog walkers) suitable for mountain bikes. This bike trail was constructed by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy built on an old Pacific Electric Railway narrow gauge grade. From the end of the trail it is possible to continue on the San Gabriel River Bicycle path via Royal Oaks Drive (East) to Encanto Parkway (South) past Encanto Park and across the River on a bridge on the East side of Encanto Parkway (about 1.2 miles). Royal Oaks Drive and Encanto Pkwy are posted with class 3 bike trail signage, the roads are fairly wide and traffic is light. From the Encanto Parkway bridge it is possible to go North on the San Gabriel River bicycle path a few miles to the entrance of or South to Santa Fe Dam and beyond to the Pacific Ocean.
