Confirmed from Start of CSUDH Walking 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 Start of CSUDH Walking Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

CSUDH recently created this walking trail that starts near the campus tennis courts on Toro Center Drive. Start here and saunter around the campus for 1-2.5 miles. You may come across surprises like blooming bougainvillea, a hidden wetlands, shady eucalyptus trees, and stray coyotes (keep your distance from those).

★★★★★ — Sonja , Jul 2022

Good route only on stoplight at Glazing stadium main entry. A public restroom would be a plus.

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.
