Confirmed from Susanville Ranch 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.

What runners say about Susanville Ranch Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (329 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 8 mentions

“Several paths to take, one leading up toward sport fields (still with beautiful views) and the other over a bridge very near a field of cows.”

Great collection of local trails, more to offer the further and higher you get. Matt with parks maintenance is phenomenal, if you let him know about a down tree across the trail it's gone before you know it, plus he's just a super nice guy! The place is definitely a local gem, so thankful to have it.

★★★★★ — Tony , Oct 2022

A great park with miles of trail for hiking, mountain biking, walking your dog and enjoying nature. A nice little slice of the eastern Sierra with wooded meadows and Paiute creek the park has lots of wildlife to observe for the keen eye. Enjoy!

★★★★☆ — James , Jan 2022

Took my dog here for an evening stroll and was so happy I did! Several paths to take, one leading up toward sport fields (still with beautiful views) and the other over a bridge very near a field of cows. Would recommend!

★★★★★ — Leanna , Aug 2023

Always love to come here and to walk along the fields or even just to stop a while and enjoy the lush surroundings. There are different trails to follow from easy ones to more challenging ones.

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.
