Confirmed from Alameda Creek Regional Trail - Isherwood Staging Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Please, if you are fishing, biking or anything that takes very long (>1hr), go pay and park at the bigger lot. The small lot is for people who go for a quick walk or run. I've been going here for a walk, running and kayaking for over 7 years. Always a less populated lake park compared to Elizabeth.

JUST BEAUTIFUL! it's peaceful, clean, and lots of trails to walk around. The views are worth the time!

★★★★★ — Elizabeth , Oct 2023

Parking is not abundant. Located on a street leading towards a residential area. The trail is relatively flat and pleasant. It's great for jogging and walking. Also, good for gravel biking.

★★★★★ — D , Sep 2021

A scenery trail that is very friendly to all people. At the top you will get a great panoramic view of Fremont - Santa Clara/ South Bay Area. There are a few branches along the trail leading to other different length of trail

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
