Confirmed from Ukiah Rail Trail | North 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.

“I’m Grateful for the beautiful work being done on the trail.”

I enjoy walking here regularly it is also a nice place to ride bikes. There is very little traffic noise and only a few street crossings. There are lots of interesting native plants and they are in the process of adding more plants and artwork.

It's great for daytime use. Never go without a buddy at night. I have heard some horror stories. But overall it is a beautiful trail love it ❤️
