Confirmed from CSU Channel Islands Regional 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 CSU Channel Islands Regional Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (14 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Excellent little trail off the old "front" entrance to CSUCI. Parking was a self regulated $6 fee. Walk down the main road past the mini RC airstrip to get to Scary Dairy. There are a few trails that branch off past it.
