Confirmed from Nur Pon Open Space'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.
Clean, off-leash dog park with a river and trails as well as several bridges.
What runners say about Nur Pon Open Space
“Beautiful trail very well maintained lot of benches to sit and watch the Sacramento river”
“The main trail is really nice and pretty scenic, with a metal bird statue and a river running alongside it.”
“About half of the loop is in the sun and the other half in the shade, but there is shade throughout.”
“Even with all that, it's still peaceful, relaxing, and surprisingly beautiful.”
“It’s an offleash area so we were approached by some dogs but they were friendly and we expected it.”
Excellent place for a walk with or without your dog. River access, paths, beautiful views and more.
Nice off leash dog walking trail next to the river. Not fenced in so some dogs might need to stay leashed. Aprox 1 mile loop trail, gravel and dirt
A really nice dog park with almost a mile loop and some cool bridges! Awesome boaters access with parking for boaters only. Good spot to practice freestyle kayaking or to practice rolling in your kayak. I haven't fished here yet but I have seen a lot of fishermen so I'd imagine it must be a good spot to rip some lips.
Honestly, I didn't think this trail was going to be this cool. The main trail is really nice and pretty scenic, with a metal bird statue and a river running alongside it. There's even what looks like an old bridge structure, which adds to the scenery. It looks like the trail is still being worked on in some areas.
