Confirmed from Coon Bluff Loop'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 area with river views, wild horses, and picnic areas, plus camping on weekends.
What runners say about Coon Bluff Loop
“Beautiful ☀️ Peaceful we love to drop by see the squirrels 🐿️and birds 🐦and all the people floating by putting your feet in the water 💦”
“Nice easy hike, plenty of parking, and best of all saw lots of wildlife”
An unexpected destination to view paddle boarders, tubers, etc and if lucky, wild horses. Some hiking along the lower Salt River. Beautiful desert oasis.
Fantastic serene place to spend a few hours. Beautiful scenery & wildlife. Easy trail to walk. Bathrooms available. Picnic areas. Camping area. Easy to launch kayaks & SUP.
This is my goto place to ride my Harley for the "short ride" a couple times a week. I can hike along the river and watch people fish.
