This was more of a walk than a hike, but its still really beautiful. its really easy to get to, and fully paved so its accessible to just about anyone. We got lucky to catch views of wildlife before they scampered off. I only did half the trail next time I will do the whole thing

Just an awesome experience to ride this trail with my 16 year old son.

Went to a drive-in concert because of the covid and it was so fun and so pleasant and great to be outside listening to music. They had a cute little golf cart ice cream wagon they should have had food trucks but it was a good night and miss Kitty you did a fantastic job as usual. The Johnny Cash cover band was spot on. Please have more.

Looovvveeeeddd our visit here. Nice place to enjoy the beautiful weather, scenery and very nice people and pets. We had a blast and will continue to come here !!!! The kids had so much fun too. And so did our fur baby !!!!!!! I highly recommend this trail. So many places to stop and take pictures/rest/eat or just chill the water is so clear and beautiful. Heres some pictures I took hundreds becuz thats what I do lol. Ill upload a few or so

Very nice bike trail and great for walking. There are a couple good steep hills. But not too bad. We walked a bit with our 8 year old. We looped it around over the dam and back over Rainbow bridge. Took about 2.5 hours going slow. Great short family trip to get outside.

Good trail for walking and biking. Be mindful of the poison oak if you step off the trail.

Great trail for the fam, though some hills made this not as easy for the kiddos. Still a great trail though, coming back for sure.

Best way to get from Empire Ranch, Briggs Ranch and The Parkway to Sutter street without having to worry about cars. Once the art installations are complete this will be the best outdoor attraction in Folsom.

Great addition to the Folsom bike trails. It provides a convenient way for riding your bike from downtown Folsom to Folsom Lake. It has a few difficult hills that makes it a little challenging, but overall it is a pretty easy ride. There is a convenient under passing under one of the prison roads to allow you to bypass the street light. Theres also a beautiful new bridge built that spans the ravine.

Fantastic and scenic walking / biking trail. Great view of Folsom Dam.

Chill place to walk your dog. Dirt rock trail for a lot of the way. Quiet in the early AM

Nice short trail for biking. About 5-6 miles long. Has 2 nice bridges with great view and a run close to the folsom damb. I guess quick for bikers and too long for hikers. But still beautiful and good to try at least once.

Great trail. Scenic. The bicyclists need to have respect for pedestrians too. This is NOT the Tour de France and you are NOT Lance Armstrong. Met some real jerks on this trail riding bikes. Met some super cool people too.

Did this today with my teen daughter, it was fun, the Johnny Cash Trail is only about 2 miles then it turns into the Folsom Bike Trail I think thats what it is called, and then it separates again for maybe half a mile stretch, there is an ugly stretch along a very busy and loud street for maybe a mile very unenjoyable stretch, also I wish they had markers in two spots especially if you are going counter clockwise you can miss the left hand turns to get you back on the trail as the paved trail especially when you need to go left over the Rainbow bridge there should be a sign there, it is a very busy hike with bikes flying by you at speed, if you have a small child hold their hand at all time, you are supposed to walk on the left against traffic, the bikes get the right lane, its sort of backwards

Kudos to the Folsom City government for making the bike trails in Folsom so much fun and easy to use. The latest project is to open up new sections of the Johnny Cash Trail, which extends from Folsom Prison to the pedestrian bridge over the Folsom Lake Crossing road. There is also a new tunnel going in under Prison Road at E. Natoma Street, so bikers wont have to stop for traffic on that busy road. There is also an extension from Prison Road, across prison property, going towards the American River and connecting to the existing bike path at Rodeo Park. Wonderful trail that is expected to open Oct. 14, 2017

Easy hike that leads right to Rainbow Bridge

We walked about 4 miles in total, it was really fun! Highly recommend

Its a good trail. My significant other and I tried this trail out our first time. Trail was tiring going up to the small pedestrian bridge over the freeway (going up hill on a bike). But the way back was a breeze (going mostly down hill on a bike) and all the hardwork going up was worth it.P.s: trail leads pass the Folsom Women Facility (FWF).

A good peaceful place to spend some time meditating

Great trail for most activities , rolling hills and good scenery

Easy hike kid/stroller friendly very little shade

Love it! Wish it was better marked throughout the 2nd half

So glad to see the city doing projects like this! Loved this long trail!

So pretty in the springtime! I love to bring my dog here. It is the long perfect walk to wear out a puppy. Watch out for ticks! It is also fantastic for biking. There is lots of traffic sometimes and it comes close to the road, so keep the little ones close. Also, I hope that the development of the trail is eventually finalized

This will be a great ride once it is done. Many things will be added but are not yet available. It basically circles Folsom Prison. I ride in the area often and I will be back.

Great trail for biking!!

Great walk from parking lot at the end of Stafford Street, then east on the Johnny Cash Trail, across the new & impressive Robbers Ravine Bridge, & then up to walking alongside Folsom Prison. Its a mile to the 5th power pole after going under Prison Road, & 2 miles to overlooking Folsom Dam. Turn around at either point -- a very nice walk at either distance!

Not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a trail around and through the hills and oaks of folsom and see folsom prison. Instead it was a walk into oncoming bikes on a paved bike trail. A few times the trail split and there was no signage...which ultimately led us onto the bike trial right next to a freeway like road in front of the folsom dam. No signs saying end of the trail or it goes that way! We got so far away we called an uber to pick us up and drive us back to the parking lot. Also heard there were art installations along the way. Didnt see any of that other than a couple plaques and the Johnny Cash bridge.

Could use better signs so you know which way to go.

Great walk but little shade

Great neighborhood walk.

The Johnny Cash Trail is located in Folsom, CA. The trail begins at 50 E. Natoma Street, near the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary, Public Library, Lion’s Park, City Hall, and Dan Russell Rodeo Arena.The Johnny Cash Trail runs behind the City Hall campus, taking visitors on a scenic path with views of the American River and across the newly constructed Robbers’ Ravine Bridge. Trail goers then traverse safely under Prison Road through a newly constructed tunnel, and then parallel to E. Natoma Street up towards Folsom Crossing and over the Johnny Cash Overcrossing Bridge near Folsom Lake.The trail itself is a Class I paved multi-use bike trail that welcomes cyclists, runners, joggers, and walkers. The Johnny Cash Trail connects the existing Class I trail at Historic Downtown Folsom and the popular, Class II Folsom Lake Crossing Trail.

Its makes you ride close to nature, and away from traffic. Good view of the lake and dam. The trail will connect to other trails that will take you from old Folsom to to old Sacramento. 37 miles one way.

I enjoyed it but it’s overrated online.Theres no sculptures out there as of today.So if you are going for that you will be disappointed.Its not a 3 mile trail,the loop is 6 or more miles.Theres no bathrooms.I parked at the library but discovered more free parking at the visitor center and a entrance to the trail is across the street from it with visible signs.Theres signs only on some of the trail so use a app or gps to make sure u are on track.Theres also a sign saying it’s the Johnny Cash trail by the prison but it’s really not it’s a dead end and you must turn around.The whole trail is paved so it stroller friendly.I gave it a 3 star because after I researched it online says it was completed in 2017 even though it’s not completed.Theres pics of sculptures online but there was nothing out there but signs telling you the locations of the sculptures.Hopefully they will be out there soon.

Nice wide bike path with lots of river and lake views. Running, walking, and stroller friendly as well :)

Great place for a short morning bike ride.

Wish I walked the whole trail, but got lost taking another one.

The Johnny Cash art trail is a great hiking and biking trail. New sections are being added and will be magnificent when complete.

Great for running, biking, or walking your dog.

I mostly ride the American river trail. But felt a little adventurous and went for the Johnny cash trail. Great ride to change it up and see something new. Loved the decent back after climbing up.

Awesome walking area and a great way to see Folsom trails

Need better access to the Johnny Cash monument. I work with adults with developmental disabilities and a few of my clients were excited to go see this but the closest we could park was by the zoo which is about 3 or so miles away. They couldnt walk that far.

The Johnny Cash Trail is an incredible project. Right now its a multi-use bike trail that takes you near Folsom Prison and over the landmark overpass bridge. Its a lovely, scenic place to walk or ride your bike. But its going to be so much more and thats the exciting part. I cant wait for the art to be installed along the trail and for the Legacy Park to be built. When the project is complete, the trail will be a world-class public art trail and park paying homage to the legacy of Johnny Cash in Folsom, and theres not going to be anything else like it in Folsom or anywhere else. So cool!

You can walk on it forsure

Great walk with the kids!:)

Nice three mile uphill hike. No shade .

Our favorite place to take the dogs.

Beautiful and i love it best thing that couldve happened to Folsom

Great trail with little off-shoot trails so you can get closer to the river or check out off the beaten path. Properly marked fir both bicyclists and pedestrians. Great ideas planned for an amphitheater and more but they need donations and more funding. Park in historic Folsom, take the trail and stop for lunch or a treat before heafing home!

Nice trail ..feels like you are in nature and the city/town is still close by. Great that you can bicycle so many miles in Folsom and never go on a city street

Nice trail

I discovered the Johnny cash trail by accident when I saw the Amgen Bike tour in 2017. I live in Sacramento and Im looking for a place to park near the trail head. Any suggestions ? Lovely trail by the way!

Pass this area on my way to work

Next to Folsom Zoo(:

Just a fun groovy time!

10 out of 10 An old cowboy went riding out one dark and winded day up on a ridge he rested as he went along his way when all once a mighty herd of redhide cows he saw plowing through the ragged sky and whiffed a cloudy draw there brands were still on fire and there hooves were made of steel there horns were black and shiny and there hot red he could feel a bolt went through him as they thunder through the sky so he say the riders coming hard and he heard there mornfull crys YIPPY YAH YO YIPPY YAH AAAaaAA ghost riders in the sky theres faces blunt there shirts were soaked in sweat hez riding hard to catch that heard but he aint caught them yet cause they got to ride forever on the range in the sky on horses snorting fire as the ride on hear there crys as the rider look right by him he heard one call his name if you want to save your soul from hell from riding on our range then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride trying to catch the devils herd across these endless skys YIPPY YAH YOOOOOO YIPPY YAH YAHAAAAaaaAa ghost riders in the sky ghost riders in the sky ghost riders in the sky

Historic and pretty, you go right past Folsom Prison!

A truly beautifully and thoughtfully done improvement on the already wonderful little town of Folsom CA.

We walked from the Folsom Auburn light & walked across the JC Bridge. Just disappointed that it’s not more scenic. They should offer tours of the dam past the spillway.. Trash cans would be good, we saw none on that part of the trail.

Really smooth and a wonderful place for a longboarder. Great long run for carving

My dog and I walked from Old Town Folsom to Folsom Dam crossover Bridge. GPS says its 1.7 miles each way. Not a bad walk. Why would anyone give a bike path/walkway 1 star unless it was through a ghetto? Its an excellent addition to Folsom and my heart skipped a beat ( unexpected and beautiful) when I saw the wooden bridge near the Rodeo. Folsom cant change their landscape to look like Willy Wonka designed it ffs. If you dont like walking or biking go to the movies and sit.

Easy to walk, bike or run on

Awesome bike trail

Its all wooden...I love that! Cant wait to cross it!

It’s a beautiful trail.

Just walked the Johnny Cash Trail from Old Town Folsom side last week. Still a lot of items to add....Art Work, Statues, Trees, Amphitheater, Picnic Tables, Restroom, etc., Its going to be a very popular bike and walking trail!!

All I can say is it is Johnny Cash!

Join the legend!

Great place to work or ride bikes.

Just walked the Johnny Cash Trail with my day program for like an hour, it felt good to be outdoors ,when you walking this trail sometimes walking the bike trail can get confusing.

Great place for a stroll with family.

Could use more trees and the art work wasn’t there yet

Very cool

Beautiful Trail!!!

Saw the start of the 2018 Tour of California bike race, stage 6 there...

Beautiful

Construction

Ok

Awesome

Perfect pavement

Terrible, though it lives up to his name

Love this

Fun
