Confirmed from Low Gap 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.
Sprawling park featuring disk golf, hiking and tennis areas, and playgrounds.
What runners say about Low Gap Park
“Beautiful park and separate dog parks for small and big dogs.”
Sooooo happy we found this place. Ukiah is a great stopping place on our travels and finding somewhere our dog can run around safely while keeping our kid entertained is invaluable.
We go here a lot. Wonderful dog park, kids park, and hiking trails. Nice picnic area for family gatherings. Our family enjoys this park for the abundance of opportunities in one location.
Beautiful park and separate dog parks for small and big dogs. There’s so many trails. The scenic trail is very long and definitely worth it when you get to the top and it still continues along the west mountains. Some of the trails have redwood trees. One redwood on the water trail, the closest one to the park.
We had a really nice hike through the park. We did the City view trail. There's some decent views along the way and a few benches to have a break. Some really interesting trees and a lot a lot of mushrooms 🍄 It's a nice time right now very colorful (November). The trails are pretty easy and well marked.
