East Shepherd Canyon Trail is a 2.1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near San Diego, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and bird watching and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
This short trail was nice. Not a lot of people were on the trail and it’s easy for everyone. I will do it again if I ever want to do something short and easy.
Popped on AllTrails since we were in the area and had some time to kill. This is a lovely, easy trail hike for our family and dog. No parking by the trailhead if you use the directions option (we crossed to the left side of Antigua Blvd). We saw coyotes (and possibly a bobcat) by Dishwasher pond.
Went a couple of days after it rained. It smells so good! Nice short trail for a run.
Nice San Diego neighborhood canyon trail. Plenty of trash cans along the way to keep the trail clean!
A little muddy but it was a nice short hike. Great for all levels of experience.
Pleasant mostly flat walk through coastal chaparral and eucalyptus grove
Nice trail, quite a few people. Plenty of shade, minor elevation changes. Good for running and walking
