Confirmed from Tuolumne Riverside Trail'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.
Popular spot for hiking and cycling, but also horses and dog walkers.
What runners say about Tuolumne Riverside Trail
“Amazing work to keep these places clean and maintained by those that are responsible but we all are encouraged to help keep it clean when we ride, walk or run 🤙”
“Beautiful place great hike it was pretty awesome if you want to get away from the busy City life for a while this is a great place to go”
great place to ride a bike, even for walking by the river. Bike obstacle course underneath highway 99. I can see why others had safety concerns in the past but feels safe these days, at least to me.
The local trail that has it all! From Dry Creek to TRT, it's a great way to get your exercise and have fun at the same time. Adults and kids can handle these trails and pathways.
My previous review was 5 yrs out of date. The Drycreek trail coalition overhauled the entire trail system between beard brook park and carpenter rd. I'd personally recommend only intermediate and above riders between dryden golf course and carpenter rd. fair warning: park at your own risk here.
Good place to walk and relax your mind, as long as you dont mind the outside people.
