Confirmed from Coyote Creek Trail'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 Trail
This is a relatively new entrance to the trail. It’s nice to have some parking spots with a small rest area.
Very nice trail; I’ve been coming here probably 15 years for sure. Total length is 2 miles right here by the freeway, not very crowded, but there is the occasional cat or two.
I wasn't expecting much when I headed out today, but I was instantly glad I did. The trail is really peaceful and easy to follow, even if I did make a wrong turn at one point because I missed a sign. The views over the marsh are beautful and so wide open it felt like I was miles away from everything.

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
