Confirmed from Flagg 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.
Park with a public restroom and kid-friendly hikes, along with a creek.
What runners say about Flagg Park
“A reasonable bicycling destination with a bathroom and shaded picnic table and all.”
Weird place, but pretty if you hike along the stream a ways. In a desert, so it’s a kind of oasis, and has birds, butterfly, some sort of nymphs or something. A reasonable bicycling destination with a bathroom and shaded picnic table and all.
There is quite a steep drop from the top of the bank to the water . This is a good place to walk your dog or just to stretch your legs . There is limited parking here .
Small gravel parking lot, restrooms, no shade in parking area. Nice open space & creek your pup can get a drink.
Great walk with my bro and dog. Beautiful scenery and you can see wildlife and it's a easy walk

- At the trailheadparking, restrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
