Bike the West County Trail
6731 Sebastopol Avenue, Sebastopol, CA 95472, (707) 829-2688
Surrounded by lush apple orchards and leafy vineyards, renting a bike is one of the best ways to get out in nature in Sebastopol. Pop into the Sebastopol Bike Center to rent a comfy cruiser, or even a high-performance bike, and head out on the West County Trail. Located right behind their shop, the trail follows sections of the old Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railway from downtown Sebastopol to Forestville. You’ll ride by pretty farms and agricultural hubs, including Hale’s Apple Farm and the Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery, along with wineries like Taft Street Winery, Russian River Vineyards, and even Ethic Ciders. Before turning around and heading back to Sebastopol, fuel your adventures at the classic Carr’s Drive-In or Sonoma Pizza Co., both located right where the trail ends in Forestville. The route is 16.4 miles roundtrip and takes about 45 minutes each way—without any stops, that is!
