Confirmed from Del Valle Ridge 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 10 mentions

“Super fun for biking, its a challenge but its awesome, very beautiful place for watching the sunset”

Beautiful views, first time. Took the non lake view trail and finished the east ridge loop in 1 hour, on del valle rd on the way to 9323, pretty peaceful

★★★★☆ — Roody , Nov 2022

One of the best trails so far. Definitely recommended for mountain biking and hiking. Get some fresh air, has lake and on top of trails. Get some sweet going uphill. For mountain biking, I recommend ebikes if you're like me. Has to drive almost 2 hours so with ebikes it's worth to ride more trails.

★★★★★ — Jim , May 2025

This is a local's go-to. Great trails where some offer shade, while most have you walking in the open. Bring water with you.

★★★★★ — Preston , Mar 2026

Great place to hike! If you go down to the lake there is a large bbq area and picnic tables.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
