Mount Rubidoux Trail in Riverside is one of the area's most popular outdoor destinations for several good reasons. This family-friendly trail trek welcomes bike riders as well as dogs to experience the beautiful wilderness that adorns this winding recreation trail located in the heart of the city. In all, this trail offers nature lovers a chance to feel like they've made a big escape while still staying within the confines of the city limits.

History and nature balance out in a most alluring way at the Heritage House in Riverside. This is a great romantic date destination because you will get to gaze upon the 1.3 acres of orange groves as well as various historical pieces that are on display at the nearby Heritage House, a 19th century Victorian home that has been restored to an incredible detail. This home reflects what life was like back in the 1800s, and even then, the reliance on the citrus crops was as significant as it is today. You'll no doubt remember your time here with your date as the area is incredibly picturesque, historic, and uniquely California.

For fun, exhilaration, and exercise, hit the trail! But this just isn't any ordinary trek, this is the popular Santa Ana River Trail. This is an extensive, winding trail that runs along the Santa Ana River and offers walkers, hikers, joggers and bikers an excellent way to get out of the city and get closer to nature while getting some great exercise. The path stretches out over 70 miles, so there is plenty of room for you and your fellow trail-dwellers.

Feel like going out tonight but don't feel like dressing up and dealing with too much glitz? Then head to Morgan's Tavern in Riverside. This is one of those places that could be categorized as a “dive bar,” but in the case of Morgan's, that's entirely a good thing! This charmingly unassuming nightlife hangout features karaoke, music videos, an excellent jukebox and a full bar. There's even an inviting patio area to enjoy if you feel like taking in the night air.
