We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of East Fork Trail Head -- Trinity Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 East Fork Trail Head -- Trinity Trail
Almost no trees, no shadow on the trail. The first mile is along the freeway where the small fence between the trail and the road. The trail crosses some water utility and also passes by some farms on the way. The path is not visible and hard to follow. I did like the experience.
The beginning of the trail goes to the left along the fence. It took us too long to figure that out. Ample parking for horse trailers at the trail head with the camp ground also close to this location. Bathrooms available as well. Sections of the trail could be muddy after rain, so be prepared.
It's takes about 2 miles to get past the buildings and road area but after that the scenery and lake are beautiful.
I admit, coming with a 4 year old, I was hoping for a playground. No such luck, but there were bathrooms, picnic tables, hitching posts and a railed circular enclosure, as well as a posted map of the trails in the area and adequate unpaved parking.
