Confirmed from El Dorado Ranch 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.

Beautiful and calm place to walk in. Usually there is not many people. It has clean and comfortable restrooms if you need some fresh water. Please keep it clean, there are tables and benches is you want to have a rest.
Nice park. Wide open dirt road trails that wind through a high meadow. Lots of birds of prey in the area and the San Bernardino range leaves a nice snow capped backdrop.
Great nature walk! Beautiful scenery. Hardly any shade, so be prepared. Not suitable for a double Graco stroller, though; although, I got a great upper arm workout because of it 😂! Definitely coming back! The loop I took was 2 miles.
It's a great quiet place to stop for a quick walk or come for a ride. It's awkward that there are a hige amount of cameras. Not that I am doing anything wrong it just makes me wonder who is for all the surveillance.
