Confirmed from South Hills Preserve'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 South Hills Preserve
Fun ride with my mountain bike, I am a complete amateur, but I found this had plenty trail options for amateurs and pros alike.
One of the best hiking/mountain biking spots in the Inland Empire! There are so many trails here to explore! This place is very special to my family and friends.
Great place for a hike with views. You can make it as hard or as easy as you'd like. Parking is sometimes tough though, so you may have to park in the neighborhood.
Best weather! The hike is fairly easy! Many trails to choose from. During summer I imagine gets really hot because there is hardly shade but for winter months is a good place to exercise. You see people walking and riding bikes. You also get a great view of the city! Highly recommend this hiking place
