We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ballona Creek Bike Path trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Ballona Creek Bike Path trailhead
love to run this trail, leads all the way to Venice and Santa Monica if you continue to run and stay on the trail
A very scenic Gem in Culver City. The Ballona Creek trailhead takes you 7 miles out, all the way to the beach biking Trail. You can take it all the way down to the end of Manhattan Beach if you’re up for it. If you love biking, this is not one to miss!
Nice riding path for all skill levels. Easy to exit and enter all along the way.
