The 18 mile trail runs over the old Southern Pacific railroad tracks that serviced Cannery Row during the famed sardine era. This paved path stretches 18 miles from Castroville in the north to Pacific Grove in the south accommodating walkers, hikers, and bikers.

From Fisherman's Wharf beside Monterey Municipal Beach, head north along the path towards the dunes. Or head southwest towards the famed Monterey Aquarium on Cannery Row and Pebble Beach beyond.

The trail boasts scenic vistas and wildlife viewing, including harbor seals, sea otters, sea lions, birds and sometimes even whales!
