Azusa Trail Rest Area — Attraction in Azusa

Here were the San Gabriel river bike path begins is a great place to plan for a road bike trip. You can go for a ride up Hwy 39 and make your day riding to Morris Dam , San Gabriel Dam to East fork or even test your limits and head to OHV site were off Roaders take it into the river. Fire Station Rincon is next to the OHV Site. Another mile is West fork fishing Access/ Cogwell Dam were it is full of hiking trails..
