Confirmed from Cheseboro Canyon Trailhead (North)'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.
Hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding offered at an area featuring rolling hills.

“Nice easy hike a little muddy because of the rain”
My favorite place to trail run or walk on some easy to moderate well maintained trails. Lots of beautiful rolling hills. Spring time here is lovely
Amazing hiking and mountain biking area, beautiful views especially in Spring. It feels isolated from the busy 101 freeway and surrounding cities.
We hiked the Chesebro Canyon Trail for the first time in early May, and it was gorgeous! It was late in the afternoon and the weather was cool and crisp, around 60°. The hillsides were lit up with bright yellow as if a florescent highlighter was used on them.
Excellent for beginners as well as seasoned mtb with some high technical trailhead sections.
