Confirmed from Lagoon Valley 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.
470-acre park offering boating, fishing, hiking & picnicking, plus an off-leash area for dogs.
What runners say about Lagoon Valley Park
“I was in town from Oklahoma and found this place very beautiful.”
“Many shaded trails to escape the heat.”
“Beautiful, peaceful outdoor experience!”
Great hills to climb, lots of trails that connect between each other, cool weather overall for the area. Some great scenery!! Gates to drive into the park open at 730, as do the bathrooms.
Lagoon valley park is an amazing open space in Vacaville off, I-80. It’s a great place to go for hiking, jogging, biking, and all sorts of activities. There is an area for remote control cars and planes, disc golf, dog park, horseback riding, and so much more.
I loved this place as it was recommended by a local for a place that I can get my run in. I was in town from Oklahoma and found this place very beautiful. Plenty of trails to run or hike along but some of the paths were kind of rough. The scenery and weather was great all week.
This park is AMAZING! Many hiking trail and many cows! They have a small play area for kids that have swings, a dog park, a trail around the lake, a golf course down the road, a boat doc next to the swings, and of course the amazing scenery.
