Confirmed from Fordyce Nature And Hiking Trails' 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.

Hikes for children are available in this area.

What runners say about Fordyce Nature And Hiking Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (62 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful and fun hiking trail. It’s completely free to walk, and pretty clean. There’s a lot to explore.

★★★★★ — Chocomint , Sep 2025

Fordyce Trails is a great place! My wife and I love going to the bike trails, some areas of the biking trails are a little less beginner friendly for people that are just starting out. It’s nice to not have to drive all the way to Mission to ride our bikes!

★★★★★ — Sean , Jan 2020

It’s a grate place to walk. I recommend always go with company sometimes you get no signal and there are wild animals walking about. Some part of the trails are a bit hard at first but vary fun.

★★★★★ — Vic , Jan 2018

It's an amazing experience!! Cardio exercise up and down hills. Need insect repellent and water of course!
