Bike riding is widely considered one of the best ways to improve your cardiovascular endurance and burn calories while exploring the outdoors. Here’s our list of the top five bike trails near our Chandler apartments in Chandler to explore.

Baseline Road Canal Path

If you want to challenge your cardiovascular endurance, try the Baseline Road Canal Path. The trail runs through several residential communities, the City of Gilbert, Mesa, and Phoenix. Though the Baseline Road is only 3.3 miles, it is considered one of the trickiest and most challenging trails for cyclists, particularly on the eastern end.

Arizona Canal Path

Arizona Canal Path is the spot to go if all you want is to ride and worry less about interference from streets and many intersections. The 69.7 miles bike trail has a mix of asphalt concrete and crushed stone paths. Arizona canal is the longest trail in Maricopa County but one of the easiest bike trails if you are an inexperienced rider.

Cave Creek Wash Trail

Cave Creek Wash Trail is the trail to hit if you are interested in flats, climbs, and turns. The path is 9.6 miles long of asphalt and concrete surfaces. The track is easily accessible as it has parking at the Southern end, Rose Mofford Sports Complex, and Cave Creek Cactus Park on the northern end.

Dreamy Draw Bikeway

Dream Draw Bikeway winds through the Dreamy Draw Recreation Park giving cyclists access to beautiful scenery and a rustic trail experience. The trail is 2.1 miles long, and the surface is paved, but some parts are gravel. There are also plenty of picnic tables you can use if you need to take a water break or enjoy a scenic lunch.
