Confirmed from Stevens Creek Trail - Yuba Drive Trailhead'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 Stevens Creek Trail - Yuba Drive Trailhead
“It is scenic, well-maintained, and has helpful signs.”
Love the accessibility of this entrance to Stevens Creek Trail. My only downside is there isn't a whole lot of parking outside this particular entrance. Overall I love the beauty and escape from the city you get on the trail. Highly recommend!
I’m rating the access point vs. the entire Steven’s Creek trail (that’s a 5 of 5). There’s some parking at the end of Yuba and more along the street. The entrance is well marked and paved. You can travel for miles heading north including joining up with the Bay Trail.
Nothing special about this particular trailhead, but the Stevens Creek Trail in general is wonderful. It is scenic, well-maintained, and has helpful signs.
The Stevens Creek Trail has been a fantastic addition to the lives of so many people that employ and enjoy it as often as they can.
