Confirmed from Damonte Ranch 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 Damonte Ranch Trail
“The Damonte Ranch Trail is a beautiful 3 mile loop trail which circles the Damonte Ranch Wetlands.”
“The beautiful Meadow Park is the best place for a walk or run and bike ride to enjoy the scenery.”
The Damonte Ranch Trail is a beautiful 3 mile loop trail which circles the Damonte Ranch Wetlands. Beautiful scenery in the Spring and Summer when the wetlands are vibrant. A level and paved hiking trail.
The whole trail is paved and can completed in a loop. There are multiple forks in the trail that provide access to surrounding neighborhoods. There are stone bench's that provided great bird watching opportunities. In January, a thick sheet of ice covered the trail in the tunnel.
The park was amazing the area is gorgeous , the trail is asphalt for most of it , you can go off the trail to take pictures or what not , it's got wild horses in the area and it's just a awesome trail to hike bike or walk ..
Only issue is that the asphalt around the bridge is pretty chewed up, and getting worse. It's not an issue if walking or on a bike but it's hell on skates or boards. Otherwise love this area. Lots of great wildlife to see.
