Confirmed from Tuolumne River Regional 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.
Public parkland covering 500 acres divided into 5 areas, including bicycle trails & a golf course.
What runners say about Tuolumne River Regional Park
“In general the trail is pretty clean oh, there are some graffiti /gang signs painted on the trail”
“making it a very beautiful and very safe place to take a hike or ride your bike.”
This is my favorite place on the planet lately. Park employees have groomed the BBQ areas and keep restrooms clean and well stocked with T. P. The trees are beautiful. I enjoy riding my bike around a horseshoe turn trail that runs along the waters edge.
Approximately a 3-mile loop trail all asphalt. Going out you parallel the river coming back you walk along the Outer Perimeter of Modesto Airport. In general the trail is pretty clean oh, there are some graffiti /gang signs painted on the trail
Pretty much empty due to the ongoing pandemic.....making it a very beautiful and very safe place to take a hike or ride your bike....lovely place for a romantic hike with a girl friend boyfriend or partner....
My wife and I enjoy our evening walks at the park. It is full of beautiful scenery, water, and wildlife. We are pretty upset they will be changing the park to campgrounds and will be charging a fee. The restrooms and picnic areas need to be replaced as the old ones are a disaster.
