Longboarding the Rio Salado Path in Phoenix

Rio Salado Path is a great place to longboard in the Phoenix area. It is located at 641 W. Lower Buckeye Road in Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area. There is a parking lot right at the start of the trail, so once you arrive, you can just grab your board and go! The trail is 3.8 miles one way making an almost 8 mile round trip distance which is perfect for a nice cruise.

When we longboarded the Rio Salado Path we were cruising at sunset and it was beautiful! This trail has a very smooth surface, great for boarding on.

The Rio Salado Path runs along the Salt River, with many great views of the river and wild life.

It was cool to see all of the colors of the plants, flowers, and cacti surrounding the path.

Another great aspect of this path are the hills. There are a handful of hills on this trail that allow you to build up some speed. The hills are not huge, but they add to the fun factor of this trail.

There are a few benches and places to chill along the path. I like the effort put in to this park. Its got a great surface to ride on and plenty of beauty to see along the way!

We tend to find ourselves longboarding in skateparks a lot. But we love getting in a good cruise on a nice paved path. Check out the links below to see some of the other longboarding spots we’ve found:

• Longboarding Canada del Oro Path near Tucson
• Wetlands Loop Trail in Henderson
• Longboarding Route 66 near Oatman
• Path to Frazier Falls

This was a great path for a cruise, great for a Lost Coast Longboarding Fishtail Classic board! You can pick one up HERE! or click the picture below! Thank you for your support!
