Confirmed from Sycamore Canyon 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 Sycamore Canyon Trailhead
Easy access and beautiful California scenery. Sagebrush and Sumac. I recommend going early, but that is just a personal hiking preference. Plenty of trails that are easy to navigate and can shorten or lengthen a hike to your liking. Awesome trail.
Nice starter trail. 2 trails,rocky sandy trail and paved one..your pick have fun ..bike hike run or walk . Lets go .
This trailhead is waaaayyyy better than where Alltrails.com sends you. Alltrails sends you to the corner of Mountain and Via Catarina. That trail is exposed and has warning signs for mountain lions. THIS trail is paved, partially shaded, great for biking and has benches. I had a great time with my dog.
I liked to hike on this trail. You can see all around up on the hills. I'm starting from Towne, parked my car and start walking at Thompson Creek trail up on the hills and go back to Thompson Creek trail again.
