Confirmed from Filiorum Reserve Trail Head'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.
Dog-friendly park for hiking and mountain biking, offering moderate trails and epic coastal views.
What runners say about Filiorum Reserve Trail Head
“Fun hike, beautiful views, parking system is a good idea on paper, but in practice there was a ton of open spots and no way to reserve them in real time.”

Our favorite hike with beautiful views- can see Catalina on clear days! There’s several trail options that are well maintained. Love bringing our dog, family and guests here. Also free parking around the church & just a little further up the road- worth it!
Easy access fun place very interesting place to hike or walk. Multi levels of trails for all ages and gender.
