Confirmed from Amargosa Creek Natural Park'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.

it's a great trail walking park , this was my first time here I took my dog we both loved the peaceful walk it's has a beautiful view of nature, the sky the mountains etc. It felt really relaxing we will be definitely be coming back from time to time.
A nicely graded path, winding around some water retention basins, that empty into a improved natural waterway. No parking on east side of 25th west, unless in a neighborhood. The westside of 25th west, has a parking area.
Such a great walking area made here. Really nice and long walking paths.
Nice trails located next to residential area. Close to road as well, so if you want peace and quiet you may have to travel a little further, but I wanted a trail close to my hotel for a little nature and birding and this place delivered.
