We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Big Sycamore Trail 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 Big Sycamore Trail
“Peaceful, quiet, everytime we go there’s no one there so we’re the only ones walking it(:”
“Nice easy trail in a ounce when you want to walk somewhere close to Porterville, but don't want to walk in town or on cement.”
This is a very nice, short walk near Success Lake. Just over a mile. But the path is nice and my dog loves it!
Nice easy trail in a ounce when you want to walk somewhere close to Porterville, but don't want to walk in town or on cement.
In California, my husband is working on a long-term but temp job assignments. With central valley not being a whole lotta fun I needed an outdoor escape. I happen to find this little gem of a trail online. Definitely a great trail for families with children.
Such a great hidden little spot!!! Nice and quiet, you can hear all the nature. I lots of critters; bunnies and squirrels. Not a difficult trail at all, just a peaceful time.
