Great place to walk the trail or chill to enjoy the park. They have a dog park as well as a horse stalls within the perimeter of the park. Love the hills and shaded tree areas along the trails. Good place to get some exercise for the body and mind. read more

Gorgeous early morning hike on the Schabarum Trail in Walnut! The fog was so thick that you could only see about 20 feet in front of you at some parts. It was like walking in the clouds! I hate being hot when I hike, so it was luxurious. read more

Tried a new (to us) trail in Walnut and I love how it's not crowded and the trails are wide. The only thing is that every time I walked, the dirt would fly off my shoes and the back of my leggings are dirty. The pebbles also fall into my shoes while walking that I had to stop by several times. Love seeing all the different types of plants too! Also there is private security driving around to make sure the place stays safe. The view it nice and the air feels clean because the area isn't congested with cars and traffic. read more

Schabarum Trail - Hiking Near Me - Walnut, California

This is a state park, shouldn't pay to go in. Or at least you have senior discount or cheaper membership to go in to enjoy nature, not $ 8.00 just to go in. read more

One of the best hidden secrets in LA county is this beautiful local trail that gives you breathtaking views of the San Gabriel mountains, Mt Baldy and an expansive panoramic view of the San Gabriel Valley. This trail is not too steep and very well maintained. It is mostly exposed so definitely wear lots of sunblock and a hat. read more

I absolutely love this trail! The view you get to see is so beautiful and rewarding. Expect to see lots of nature and wildlife. The trail does pass through a residential area, main streets, and along the back of people's houses. However, it doesn't interfere with your venture. ---------------------------------------------------- Recommended activities: Hiking, Running, Biking, Dog Walking, Birdwatching, Walking Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free street parking Parking: The trail forms a large loop, allowing you to park your car at various points and start your hike. Dog-friendliness: This trail is great for hiking with your dog. There were many dogs on the trail, but it's important to note that it can be a little challenging. Make sure to bring some water for your pup. read more

Enjoyed this lovely trail during one of my recent trips to Walnut to visit family. The trail was easy- moderately difficult as it has many inclines but the views were amazing! There were picturesque backdrops and lots of nature / wildlife to take photos of. We wound up going through the three oaks neighborhood on our way back and it made for some lovely sightseeing. We were even able to get some views of downtown LA since it was a clear day. Would hike this trail again for sure! read more

Seeking out new areas to walk and hike and this was quite a beautiful trail. I still dont know where it starts as I ended up parking somewhere near the 22.25 mile marker. The direction I was walking was very much uphill but you are rewarded with some beautiful views. Bring some water and take your time! Other people's comments on wildlife are correct. I turned off my podcast to listen to some of the birds. Since the trail is pretty empty you end up startling some of the wildlife so definitely came upon lizards scrambling away and rabbits bounding off, squirrels gnawing on things and scrambling up to keep an eye on us hikers. Definitely wear sunblock, hat, sun protective clothing. Other reviewers are correct that not many areas have shade. read more

Schabarum Trail - Hiking Near Me - Walnut, California

This listing is misleading. It isn't a park, but a trail system that spans 24 plus miles. Next to the park, there's a trail the leads up or to the side. It connects to other trails. This particular one can go 8 miles . Park on top of country willow rd, you'll see a yellow gate, large water service tank facility and trails can start here. Safe, clean friendly people, for walks jogs runs and biking. Trails can be challenging. read more

I love to hike and discovered this gem. Make sure to hike during cloudy days because the heat can get to you with this hike in the beginning. Steep in the beginning but it gets easier with a great view. This was my 2nd time and will come back again. read more

Schabarum Trail - Hiking Near Me - Walnut, California

Difficulty: Moderate Distance: About 3.5 miles Highlights: A mysteriously wrecked car along the trail, scenic views Park for free at Walnut Ranch Park and take a short walk heading west on Amar to find the entrance to this hidden gem. There is a conspicuous sign that marks the start so you can't miss it. While the first half of the hike is a good workout that is filled with uphill switchbacks through dry brush, the latter part is mostly flat and/or downhill that takes you through what seems to be the big backyard of a residential community. Make sure to wear sunscreen because there is very little shade along the entire trail. There are a few overlooks near the latter part that provide nice views of surrounding cities. The best thing about this hike - you'll find more peace and quiet here than at hikes such as Cahuenga Peak. One more thing, how did that Chrysler LeBaron end up at the bottom of the ravine?! read more

The entrance is about 0.25 mile from the parking lot along Amar Road. Following the route suggested by https://nobodyhikesinla.com/2011/04/16/schabarumlemon-avenue-loop-walnut, we started the loop by veering right to tackle the climb first. There were a bit of switchbacks going up, but the inclines were not difficult. Once we arrived to the top, we saw a view of the city and then proceeded on to the well-maintained paths back to the trailhead. Well-marked, this trail reminded me parts of Aliso Summit and Crystal Cove where you are strolling next to luxury homes. DISTANCE: about 3-4 miles, less than 2 hours to complete. DIFFICULTY: easy, with some runners and bikers PARKING: free in the small lot by Walnut Ranch Park or at Westhoff Elementary School read more

This hiking trail has a plethora of scenic views from the hillsides that overlook both cities of West Covina and Walnut. The hike takes approximately an hour and a half. We parked at a nearby school parking lot and made an entire circle from the start of the trail entrance. Towards the tail end of the hike, we walked through the encompassing residential neighborhood streets all the way back to where we had parked. At the beginning of the trail, there was lot of uphill walking that lasted about halfway through, making it quite a rigorous cardio workout. So, I definitely recommend this trail as a terrific hiking spot in the San Gabriel Valley area. Note to self: take an allergy pill before hiking or take a pack of Kleenex, because my dang allergies were acting up for 75% of the hike, so that was not fun at all! Nonetheless, I gained a great hiking workout from Schabarum Trail. read more

Nice, easy trail with first half uphill, and the later half downhill or flat if you head from the Trailhead up. I am curious about an older wrecked car a short distance off the trail in the woods at the bottom of the very tall hill we climb. The only nearby road is in the new subdivision far above, unless part of the trail not as far up served as a road or a path it found itself on what appears to have been a sad, fateful day. Some quiet residential walking beginning the 2nd half to near the end. A couple of lookouts along the way, each with a bench or two and a picnic table for a peaceful lunch break. Enjoy! read more

Walked the trail twice, its a really good trail and you can walk down from the top of the houses in order to circle back to Westoff if you parked there and walked. Both trails lead to the same top part and make sure you wear hat, sunglasses, good walking shoes, and bring a water. Decent hikers should take about an hour if you only do half the trail then two hours if you do the full trail, including up and down the hill. read more

Schabarum Trail - Schabarum trail entrance sign. You can take the left or the right path from here. The right path is less steep, the left path takes longer. - Hiking Near Me - Walnut, California

Driving up the trail you have a site of beautiful houses, just dreamy. However, the trail is a very lite walk nothing too massive. So if you are planning on doing a massive hike it would not be this trail. The trail is very lowkey but there are still pretty views, especially the field of flowers. I wanted to take a picture but got psyche by possible snakes haha! However, it's a nice relaxed trail. read more

Enjoyed hiking to this trail. Parking was easy and FREE ! And the start of the trail from the top was huge, it looked like it would be fun to ride a bicycle. Lots of beautiful houses around, our trail took us to the Main Street, from there we followed a narrow path surrounded by dry bushes and pretty flowers all the way to top where we parked. The walk to the top was tough, be careful with the bushes ! We didn't see the abandoned car from the other pictures though. Was kinda hoping to see that, maybe next time ;) read more

EPIC 2 hour loop trails that provides amazing views and scenery of the surrounding area. A lot of ascending so be sure to bring the right shoes and plenty of water. This is also a horse and bike trail so be aware of horse dung. Love this trail. read more

This is my new favorite mini hike trail. I love the fact that it's hard on the beginning with medium incline the rest is easy. For some people who may have a hard time finding the entrance you walk on Amar. You'll soon find the entrance to the right. I went for a jog at 7am finished by 9:10am. Overall, it's a good morning cardio work out. You get a lovely view of the 10 freeway(ikea and Wells Fargo) once you reach to the top. Next, once you make way to Lemon you'll find a pit stop with the view of industry and walnut. read more

Great hike!! It's about a 5 mile loop. It ends up in a residential area but that makes it feel safe. We started on the right hand side first which is a little more intense, practically going all uphill! It has great views of the city and nice landscaping as well. read more

Very scenic! The parking lot is small, but close by to the trail. As soon as you start the trail it hits with an incline. From reading the other reviews people say that it's easy, but I'm not an active person so I found it to be a little intense. Of course it's manageable but if you're really out of shape like me it's perfect. I like how in the beginning of the trail it totally looks like an enchanted place from a movie, maybe even a horror movie if you go in the evening, but as soon as you make it to the top it's a super cute walking trail. You go from it being a loney and not city like setting to a nice walking trail. It's also for horses and bikes. It's in a nice neighborhood. Everyone is super friendly. The only con I can say is that there a lot of dog poop but other than that it's great. Love it and I will definitely be coming back. read more
