Confirmed from Grizzly Island Wildlife Area'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 8 mentions

“Great place to get out and enjoy the beautiful wetlands of Northern CA.”

We went here for a family hike and was very pleased to find such an abundance of wildlife. I wish there were more signage for hiking areas, or maps letting us know where it is safe to walk. So, we stayed in the car most of our time there and took most of our photos from the car. Great for photography too!!!

★★★★☆ — Sistah , Apr 2017

Spectacular place! So many amazing things to see and explore! It loses a star because it is not very ADA friendly. Parking lots are few and far between and far away from where you will often want to be to photograph the owls or elk, so be prepared to park and hike back quite a ways. There is also a large flock?

★★★★☆ — Tenay32 , May 2021

I took my motorcycle up there and had a nice ride. Besides that there seemed to be a lot of fishing going on. It would be nice if there were more paths for a nice day worth of hiking.

★★★★☆ — Gerardo , Nov 2021

Great place to get out and enjoy the beautiful wetlands of Northern CA. Love it when it’s cool weather! Miles and miles of nature!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
