Confirmed from La Llorona Multi-Use Path Trailhead'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 La Llorona Multi-Use Path Trailhead
This walking path is paved, which makes it great for walking, riding bicycles, walking your dog and enjoying the beautiful views of Las Cruces, NM. Great place ☺️
There's a playground and picnic area, a paved trail that goes 5km/3 miles south, and about 1mile north. It's a great place for biking or running. There's a restroom, too.
The trail has recently been extended down Calle de Norte nearly to Avenida de mesilla.
This trail is slowly getting paved more and more connecting the entire city together and you can actually bike most of the city and a large section of farming land, you see the rio grande, and many other cool stops along the trail. It gets better every year:) !
