We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of The San Leandro Trails yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 The San Leandro Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (19 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I was up fighting a 6 acre brush fire but from everything that I know about the place it's great for mountain bike riding and hiking.

★★★★★ — Michael , Jun 2022

Great trails for hiking or mountain biking. Gorgeous sunsets over SF. I believe the trails are in Oakland though.
