Confirmed from Noe Street Waterfall 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 Noe Street Waterfall Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Passersby to the Noe Street Waterfall Park can be forgiven for not noticing this little gem of a recreational site, owing to its proximity to the larger and more conspicuous Sportsplex located across the street, and that this park is more set back from the street.

★★★★★ — Burt , Jul 2023

Near Washington Ave. Good place to walk to after getting some food and dessert in the nearby area. Small/mini waterfall and many in the area pass this area, not noticing it is there.

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.
