Confirmed from Auburn Ravine 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.
Nature preserve with a paved trail, a creek, wildlife, and a popular dog park.
What runners say about Auburn Ravine Park
“I saw this hidden entrance and I was very surprised to see this beautiful park.”
“This is also a family friendly place.”
After my husband passed in May of last year, my way of coping is walking. I live with my daughter i Lincoln. I walk on the trail next to her house. Nice but short trail. I found Auburn Ravine Park one day just exploring the area on Ferrari Ranch Street.
Auburn Ravine Park is located along side Auburn Ravine which is a river that runs behind my home. The park is a portion of the river and the surrounding area of the river that has a lot of open space, a dog park and several paved trails that are used by runners, walkers and cyclists.
Lots of ways to do a short walk. I used to park in the shopping area by Safeway/Round Table and walk across the street for a nice stroll to the dog park, beyond, and back. The dog goes nuts however, every time a car goes by so decided to find a better entry point.
Not a bad spot to go for a walk. Pretty good scenery and pathed trails that worked well for the stroller. There is body weight exercise equipment along the trail so it would work well for a run too. Nothing spectacular, but if you are within a 20min drive it couldn’t hurt to visit.
Trail conditions & character
“From expansive nature preserves, to an enormous dog park, and no direct vehicle access make this place a pristine relaxation and workout destination.”
“I saw this hidden entrance and I was very surprised to see this beautiful park.”
“A beautiful concrete path that winds through woods and along a stream.”
“I was able to find the parking lot easily by pulling up the map and seeing that Moore Rd.”
