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.

★★★★★ — Thank , Jun 2026

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.

★★★★☆ — James , Sep 2023

Such a great walking area made here. Really nice and long walking paths.

★★★★★ — Lj , Feb 2020

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.

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.

“There is no parking you have to park in the street and walk in the desert which is the park, bring a waterbottle if your walking the full trail”
