Confirmed from Anaverde Hiking Trails' 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.

What runners say about Anaverde Hiking Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (63 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Love it, clean,nice, has bathroom, soccer field kids play area big and small, beanches for the parents.”

If you go left (uphill, towards the mountains) about 1/3 of a mile, you will have access to the mountain trails. They are myriad and you can hike as long and far as you want. Some of them are fairly steep (10% to 15% grade).

I like this hiking trail I go Whenever I visit my mother in Palmdale it's a really good workout Also is easy to find parking so you can get your work out on. Take a friend and stay healthy.....

★★★★☆ — Tinika , Mar 2020

Very nice hike. You can go left on the trail it goes into hills or right, and it leads you to a foothill park.

★★★★★ — Loreena , Apr 2023

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.

  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
