Confirmed from Golden Hills Wilderness 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.

What runners say about Golden Hills Wilderness Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (33 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Amazing park but pretty sure there is tons of poison oak if you go off the trail through the wilderness.

★★★★★ — Brendan , Mar 2020

A wonderful place to go hiking alone or with family and friends. Many people visit and this location is well populated during the day. Parking is $5.00 on the weekends.

★★★★★ — Natasha , Feb 2019

Not really a park, just a small area with a few small trails. Overall a pleasant place.

★★★★★ — Mr , Mar 2021

Call Little nature Park gave the kids somewhere to run around and explorer

★★★★★ — Kevin , Dec 2018
