With a primary entrance located at the intersection between Main Street and Higley Road, the East Maricopa Floodway provides riding to cyclists and mountain bikers. The surface of the floodway is filled-in with small pebbles and tar so it is very flat and easy terrain. Further along the floodway there are residential areas with yards connecting to the path, so you may encounter runners or walkers with dogs enjoying the floodway as well. The floodway can connect to Roosevelt canal at the Broadway intersection if one desires a longer ride on the same easy terrain.
Basically the access road for the floodway. Very flat and wide. good for easy rides, endurance ride off street and commuting. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
