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.

“Always ride my bike here, trail as well kept, can get busy but not too much.”
“Peaceful and scenic, it’s a great way to enjoy nature while staying active in San Jose.”
Easy to find, level trail, not too busy. I took my lunch and enjoyed the sound of the very full creek rushing by.
I am visiting from Baton Rouge, LA, and I love this trail. It’s black-top and fairly flat so good for those who are not overly fit, and also for wheelchairs. There is a ton of wildlife including bobcats and deer which I saw this morning. So many different birds too. It was quiet and I love the scenery.
