Confirmed from Rebert Pike Nature 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.

This is a great little natural space close to the city, with some nice trails for hiking or running and a small picnic shelter with a grill.

★★★★★ — Scott , Oct 2016

Beautiful place. Mostly walking/hiking trails through various settings. With well placed benches throughout.

★★★★★ — Jesse , Aug 2016

Our dogs on leash went slightly off path and got some kind of poison oak or sumac…. Any case we all loved it and considered training laps for mountain biking in the future. There are some smooth loops to begin learning learning path riding or an easy hike.

★★★★☆ — Amy , May 2024

An amazing hang out for those even aware of its existence. A few small trails, perfect for a jog. Come see me!

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.
