Good to know
The official narrative calls this loop approximately 2 miles, while its broader trail overview reports 2.3 miles; this record preserves the loop figure rather than blending the two. The promenade is shared with walkers, runners, and cyclists, and the agency does not inventory every driveway, crossing, junction, or separation point. Accessible parking and restrooms do not certify the complete loop. Check current NPS notices for events, maintenance, weather, or construction changes.
