Confirmed from Mojave River Forks Regional 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“The restrooms could use some upgrades-- but we're actually working with park staff to make improvements to this beautiful place we want to keep coming back to 🥰”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“I do not like going out on the weekends, but took a good friend out for his birthday there on a Sunday, and was still one of the most peaceful days at a park I've ever had!”

I love this campground because it is usually not full, and it has lots of open space for hikes or bike rides, mature trees, hot showers, and flushing toilets. 😊👍🏼 (Make sure you get the gate code for after 4pm arrival). Codes change on Sunday evenings, so if you leave Monday morning, you will need the new code.

I love this place. It's very spread out for an RV camp. Not something you see much of these days, everyone's cramped in where you can hear your neighbors snoring at night. Not this place. Has many trails for you to take a walk on, pet friendly. They have a section for tents only.

★★★★★ — Mratticus , Apr 2021

Windy place both times I stayed. Good sites with full hook up. No ranger or camp host. Overall a nice place. Not much to see or do. But we managed some nice hikes around the park. Peaceful setting.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“If camping with a big family , I would recommend site “Coyote Bluff” so much space, trees, shade and a night view of the road while cars drive up and down the hill.”
