Confirmed from Coyote Creek Park'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.

What runners say about Coyote Creek Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

"relaxing and great place to walk your dog or walk or exercise while watching the sunset. Also during winter nice to look at the purple skies and the mountains with snow"

★★★★★ — Louis , Jun 2021

Bunnies, hawks, and coyotes. There is a nice view of the freeway traffic on days off from work. The park is small with lots of gravel to ride

★★★★☆ — A , May 2023

If you’re going for a walk and want to add some scenery this is a great park to to walk through.

★★★★★ — Richard , Jul 2022

The practical stuff

  • AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
