A short paved trail following the Mojave River through scrub, cottonwoods and palms — good for intimate desert river scenes, seasonal reflections, riparian wildlife and linear leading lines from bridges and boardwalks. Best at golden hour or after winter/spring rains for water and wildflowers. Easy access with parking off Bear Valley Rd; flat, wheelchair-friendly paths and picnic areas. No entry fee; popular with locals so weekdays or early morning reduce crowds.
