Winters has a new place to ride a bike! The Putah Creek Walk and Nature Trail goes from the railroad bridge behind the community center east on pavement till it lets out in the neighborhood on the east side of Winters.
And if you have fat tires, you can go down to dirt trails that go as far as 505 on the north side or cross a little wood bridge and go under 505 and beyond on the south side.
This is a great place for little ones and kids to ride on pavement and a little older ones to ride on dirt. Nothing dramatic, just a bite of nature.
Also great for a picnic or a walk.
