DRY CREEK TRAILHEAD

The Dry Creek Trail in the fall is an awesome place to go for a walk or run. There are definitely times that are more high traffic, e.g., nice weather, weekends, but it is manageable even in a crowded day due to the space to either side of the trail if you adhere to social distancing. Be aware that the majority of the folks are not wearing masks! There are a couple of stations for dog duty bags and a bathroom by the children's park. Many people take their dogs for a walk there and the majority are well behaved (90%). Some stretches are cooler than others due to the shade the trees provide. There's also parking at Sunnyside and Shepherd.

One of my families favorite trails in the city. Lots of trees to provide shade for the morning hours. As the sun moves into the west, shade decreases. It is nice that it links up with other trails too so one can “keep going” beyond the Dry Creek Trail portion. Nice to have public bathrooms, water, picnic areas, playground in the middle of the trail, and more.

Nice place to go for a walk or run in the Fresno/Clovis area. I enjoyed the sculptures and information at the trailhead, and the trail itself was clean, safe, and well-maintained.
