Confirmed from Sequoia Park Rear Exit'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“Living in redwood country, humboldt county is absolutely beautiful.”

Always love the walk through the park. So many trails that you don't have to be around people unless you want. Always a great place to enjoy the redwoods with family, friends, dogs (on leash) or alone. A safe place to visit.

★★★★★ — Sandy , Apr 2023

Sequoia Park has great awe inspiring trees, woods, and trails. This rear entrance trail runs along with he edge of the park, near the zoo. You can park on the road and enter near an old fountain.

★★★★☆ — Terri , Sep 2020

Love where we live! Living in redwood country, humboldt county is absolutely beautiful. Sequoia park is the largest park in Eureka. And is beautiful from any way you enter. Many trails throughout the large sequoia redwoods, a duck pond & small playground at the lower end.

★★★★★ — Saalav , May 2024

I'm very sensitive to the heat and sun, so this is a perfect place for a long walk, as most of trails are shaded all day. My little dog loves exploring here, on her leash of course.

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.
