Franklin Trail

Taking the Franklin Trail to the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains is one of Carpinteria’s most popular places to enjoy nature-based recreation. The shared-use trail provides hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers, trail runners, and other trail users with a direct route from Carpinteria to the Santa Ynez River. Community members use this free and easily accessed open space for a range of benefits, including health, fitness, and overall wellness. The 8-mile-long trail cuts through mountainous chaparral, offering panoramic views of the islands, coastline, and valley floor.
