San Diego Bicycling – Maple Canyon

Connecting Middletown and Bankers Hill, this small canyon is mostly rideable. From the lower end to the 1st Ave Bridge, the trail is mostly a dirt road. Beyond the 1st Ave Bridge to the Quince St Bridge, the trail becomes singletrack. Only the upper portion beyond the Quince Street Bridge is not very rideable. There are many steps and clearance problems in that section. Access to this canyon can be found at the intersection of 3rd Ave / Redwood St and at Maple St / Dove St.
