Land OwnerCity of Arroyo Grande
Asphalt entrance on James Way leads to concrete flood control basin then turns to singletrack and eventually intersects at the newer, sustainable Westward Spur. **CAUTION** In wet months, the flood control basin can have fast moving water running through the channel. Avoid this access point during wet weather and high water periods. It could prove dangerous.
