I noticed, as I was looking for some fun paths to cache on, that this particular path had no caches! Thought we should take advantage of the beautiful trees and great walkway, so I have placed a few! Congratulations go to Movkingbird559 for FTF!!

Fresno-Clovis Rail-Trail

Community support has been integral to the creation of the Fresno Sugar Pine Trail, also known as the Clovis Old Town Trail. Joggers, cyclists, businesses and multiple environmental organizations all came together to support this rail-trail, which runs 13 miles through Clovis and Fresno. It connects many existing area resources, including the Yosemite International Airport, Woodward Park and the 23-mile San Joaquin River Parkway Trail. Through tree planting efforts organized by the Coalition for Community Trails, about 4,400 trees planted along it offer trail users shade and beautiful scenery.

Known collectively as the Fresno–Clovis Rail-Trail, this path was created by combining two separate railroad corridors and stretches from southern Clovis to northern edge of Fresno. The portion in Fresno is known as the Sugar Pine Trail, and once it enters Clovis it is referred to as the Clovis Old Town Trail. The Clovis Old Town Trail begins near the Yosemite International Airport and continues north along Clovis Avenue. The Clovis Old Town Trail officially becomes the Fresno Sugar Pine Trail on Willow Avenue between Nees Avenue and East Shepherd Avenue, which leads westward along East Shepherd Avenue to the River Park Shopping Center in Fresno.

In Fresno, the trail begins at Fresno Street and Nees Avenue and runs along Eriant Road to Shepherd then east to Willow Avenue. The trail runs south along Willow Avenue and continues southeast into Clovis. Underpasses carry the trail through busy intersections in Clovis and Fresno.
 

The Clovis Old Town Trail skirts many residential and commercial areas, with easy access along the entire length. Outdoor restaurants at Willow Station, a mall area at Willow and Nees in Clovis, offer seating overlooking the trail, and additional restaurants and stores are within walking distance to the trail as it continues near Shepherd Road. The trail transitions from commercial to residential near the end, becoming a wide and spacious corridor bordered by mature trees.

The trail ends at River Park Shopping Center in Fresno, a large mall complex near the intersection of State Route 41 and Nees Avenue. The trailhead is under the SR 41 overpass and is equipped with benches and a drinking fountain. There is ample parking and a wide choice of eateries at the mall across the street.
