The Lazy Cow Trail is a multi-use trail enjoyed by hikers, mountain bikers, and bird watchers. It is a dog-friendly trail and open year round, although September-May is the optimal time for hiking in this area due to hot, dry summer weather. Aptly named, the Lazy Cow Trail is considerably easy, and offers visitors a closer look at some of the area's native plants and wildlife.

Running

Lazy Cow Trail is one of the easiest trails in the park and can be a crowded trail in the busy season. It's a great trail for running because of how smooth and gradual it is. It wouldn't be a bad place to do some strides at the end of a run.
