Confirmed from Azusa Trail Rest 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.
Scenic trail system offering hiking and biking options, plus a river for swimming and fishing.
What runners say about Azusa Trail Rest Area
“The only downside is the parking lot is rather small and the signs are not well kept.”
“Beautiful sight if nature especially during the winter months were the local hill are a vibrant green.”
A nice and rather long bike/walking trail along the river bed. Beautiful sight if nature especially during the winter months were the local hill are a vibrant green. You may even see some snow on the nearby mountain. The only downside is the parking lot is rather small and the signs are not well kept.
Nice path for walking with family, provided you keep to the walking lanes and watch out for bikes! Yikes!
The trail is awesome! Great bike ride. I dare you to go to the beach and back, from Azusa! There's a little creek up in the mountain for you to cool off.
Great for bike riding! I go weekly and have had no issues with the trail or rest stops. Drinking water accessable and not too crowded. Also easily accessable to the park. Highly recommend
