Confirmed from Perry Riffle Trailhead'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 Perry Riffle Trailhead
“Large parking lot with trails leading to the beautiful river.”
“I consider it an easy walk but some might think it's more moderate.”
Small area, quiet, BLM Land, 250 paces to the river. And endless trails, hike or ride.
Super nice place to camp and hike!!!! I spent a week here and still get to all the trails. My dog loved to go to the Sacramento River and play in the water every afternoon after our midday hike as it was less then a 10 minute walk away. I wished I got more pictures but I was busy enjoying the scenery.
This is a great place to stop by and spend the night or take a break on a road trip. Large parking lot with trails leading to the beautiful river. Also has a small beach area on one of the river banks. We've boondocked here twice and would definitely come again.
Beautiful atmosphere! Great place to take the kids or loved ones. Great fishing opportunities nearby, Bass Pond, Coyote Pond. Good trails for hiking. There is restrooms and good parking.
