Confirmed from Shiloh Ranch Regional 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.
850-acre park in a rugged setting offering 8 miles of trails for hiking, biking & horseback riding.
What runners say about Shiloh Ranch Regional Park
“The lot includes clean restrooms, picnic tables, and even a bocce ball court.”
“It’s a perfect spot for hiking, trail running, or just spending time in nature, with a mix of oak woodlands, open meadows, and beautiful vineyard views.”
“it felt really calm and green and just what I needed to forget about everything for a bit.”
Absolutely gorgeous hikes/walks. The trails can be a bit steep, so be prepared! We are pretty out of shape but managed just fine. Saw many bird species, the highlights being: ruby-crowned kinglet, golden-crowned kinglet, chestnut-backed chickadee, great horned owl. Very clean trails and well maintained park overall.
This is a great outdoor resource for Sonoma County. The trails are excellent as is the scenery. There are excellent views and it provides habitat for numerous species. Unfortunately, there is one trail that has not yet been built. Apparently a bridge needs to be constructed.
One of our favorite hiking places in Sonoma County. It can be challenging or more laid back, it's your choice. We like the steep hills that make us breathe hard, and give our legs a great workout. Plenty of shade and the views are phenomenal.
Shiloh ranch is a really nice park. It has many nice hiking trails. No dogs allowed in this park because of the horses on the trails. I love the creek trail early in the morning.
