Confirmed from Elk Grove Multi Use 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 Elk Grove Multi Use Trail
Not a hiking trail at all...90% concrete paved path...<2.1 mile loop...extremely nice landscaping and some wildlife
Best walking/biking trail in the city limits. Regularly see Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets. Cormorants, Canadian Honkers, Mallards and Wood Ducks. Almost always spot turtles sunning themselves. Saw a beaver once in the winter.
Great walking/running frail around the entire park. Approximately 1.5 miles around. Lots of shaded sections .
Cannot stress enough how much I love these trails. Perfect for the family and friends.
