Confirmed from Los Gatos Creek Trail - Vasona 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 Los Gatos Creek Trail - Vasona Park
A wonderful place for a saunter around the reservoir. Lots of water foul, a playground and a small train for kids. They have a great holiday lights show! Well worth the trip if you want a bit of time in nature. It's along a bike trail that extends miles in both directions. Great for biking!
Dog-friendly. Lots of friendly joggers and casual walkers. As of August 2022, some areas are blocked for construction - May be a good idea to check out the details before heading out. There are restrooms available, as well as drinking water. There is a $6 fee.
The walk with my son was great then about half way he asked me “Hey dad, if this is fresh water there could be fish in that creek, right” “great thought” I said to my son, so the next time we came we brought fishing supplies and caught 3 fish
