Rice Canyon & Snake Loop Trail
Snake and Rice Canyon Loop is a popular route located in Chula Vista, California. This loop consists of multi-use trails featuring wide dirt access roads with some sections of singletrack.
This central Chula Vista canyon loop route has been a favorite with trail users for years but only recently has been adopted by the city to officially allow mountain biking. An easy neighborhood route down Snake Trail (a south bay classic that is recommended directional downhill - east to west) and with some road connections down to Rice Canyon heading back east.
A few bridges have been improved along the route and regular trail work will continue by SDMBA and other local advocates and volunteers in partnership with the city on this project.
Public parking is available at Discovery Park or at the small lot at the east end of Rice Canyon at the Demonstration Garden. Please avoid parking at the YMCA or Home Depot.
Please follow all signage and stay on designated trails. Bring your trail etiquette and a bell. Have fun!
