Confirmed from Santa Fe Dam, Bike Entry'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.
Sprawling park with playgrounds, picnic tables, a beach, a lake and several bike trails.
What runners say about Santa Fe Dam, Bike Entry
As a Cyclist riding with a Cycling Team (SHARKS) that enjoy rides on the coast south of Santa Fe Dam,,I prefer these Spectacular Mountains to get my ride on alongside The Santa Fe Dam,,The San Gabriel river bike path running alongside the San Gabriel river to Chalan rest stop & leading up to the entrance to Santa Fe…
Lots of walking paths and trails. You can ride on top of the dam, all the way into Azusa Canyon. Lots of wildlife. Lots of plantlife.
This placebis awesome. I got to see all kinds of wildlife. From a few locusts all the way to a garden snake. In the way in there where doves in the back of a hill. The jack rabbits would run from cactus to cactus.
Nice recreational area with lake and everything. Good for a hike, run or bike ride, with a view of the San Gabriel Mountains.
