We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of California Aqueduct Trail Godde Hill 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 California Aqueduct Trail Godde Hill
“Great view of the city and several off road trails to explore.”
There are two main trails, one along the aqueduct itself that loops around both sides, flat and easy; a second set of trails to the side go into the hills with diverging trails and a couple of benches along the way to admire the view. You can see the whole valley from the aqueduct.
The trail is so beautiful specially at sunrise or sunset!!!! You can’t go wrong going on a walk on this trail!!! I love everything about it!!! It’s so peaceful and relaxing to walk through here!!!!
Great view of the city and several off road trails to explore. Not a ton of parking. Bring a jacket for those windy days!
2 big hills at the beginning. Currently there's construction, but you can walk around it. Nice views.
