The paved Maria Ygnacio Bike Path follows the creek of the same name, from the Atascadero Creek Trail near Patterson Avenue north to Pintura Drive at Ribera Drive. It also intersects the San Antonio Creek Trail at Matorral Way. The trail is a popular route for cyclists and pedestrians traveling around west Santa Barbara and Goleta.
Access the trail from the Atascadero Creek Trail or hop on at Ribera and Pintura drives. You can also pick up the trail from where Ribera Drive and Matorral Way intersect and nearby at the end of Calle Real. The trail is also accessible from anywhere it crosses a road south of US 101.
This trail is worth exploring if you want to venture into the neighborhoods of Goleta. It must be especially awesome for the residents of Goleta to be able to jump on their bikes and head to the beach or UCSB via this path and the Obern Trail!
Connected to this path from the Obern Trail (see comments for that trail). Rode to end of trail. Trail follows along creek and through residential areas, although stays within the green space. Trail is paved and like others in area not real wide but does the job. Noted a number of connector trails and would have been fun to have more time to explore these connections. Maybe next time.
