Confirmed from San Gabriel River Trail'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 San Gabriel River Trail
“It was a beautiful trail, they have paved and non paved paths in the same trail so if you are going in a wheel chair I would be careful.”
“Beautiful, quiet, clean, colorful hike, but we wouldn't have been able to find our way accurately without downloading the AllTrails map.”
I have been hiking in the Lake Georgetown trails pretty much everyday in the evenings and I love it. There are few entrances. I use this entrance through the Cedar Lake BLVD. Recently I have been using the other entrance through the Woodlake Park.
This is a nice trail right near the heart of Georgetown. I hiked this trail and stopped to do some fishing along the way. The deer and squirrels have no fear of humans and can be seen roaming around and lounging in people's yards. It's very peaceful, and using ultralight tackle makes the fishing that much more fun.
We got to come here for the first time walking around sunset time! Twas a nice trail along the creek and it’s refreshing to walk through the path! Since it was almost dawn time, we walked for only a short distance yet it was good! Will be back for the full experience next time! Cheers 🥂
Great hike and beautiful views to capture for photographers. I'm a disabled vet so walked at slow pace as I practiced nature/landscape photography. There were a few steep parts but overall able to follow trail. Take lots of water as this TX heat sneaks up on you.
