Confirmed from Los Robles Trail & Open Space System'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.
Natural area known for its hiking/mountain biking trails & picturesque panoramas.

My favorite local hike. Marcy 9, 2023: lots of water And mud still. Also: spring flowers are started blooming.
Nice hiking trials and decent shade along the way. Watch out for bikers
Great trail system with lots of options for hikers and mountain bikers. Many miles of trails with various skill levels and side trails, all well maintained. End to end, you can hike 9+ miles from Westlake to Newbury Park, with myriad side trails and areas to explore and add mileage.
One of my favorite local hikes. Hills with views. And a grove of trees with a small stream. Free parking!!!
