Kid and pet friendly. Stroller friendly, easy trail. There is also a bike trail off to the side. Some shade, plenty of trees and plants.

Great spot to go for a stroll with a friend and walk your pet. Very east trail to follow maybe run into some horses.

Easy to run/walk or ride your bike. I walk this trail 5 times a week. From the beginning of the trail to Imperial Highway and back is a little under 6 miles. Most people that ride the trail are on Mountain Bikes but I've seen 1 person on a Road Bike and 1 person on a Beach Cruiser.

Nice walk but don't expect to see much wildlife until you get to the lake. The lake area itself is quite nice with ducks, turtles and some odd looking birds. I parked near a Chase bank as I didn't see a starting parking lot. Note that if you walk to the end of the lake, I would suggest you do walk back the same way you got there (the Juanita Cooke Trail) and not walk back through the Laguna Lake Park trail as after the park you will have to walk quite a bit on a busy street with no sideway.

A beautiful greenbelt trail, great for hikes, bike riding and even horse riding.
One of my favorite paths to take when biking the loop from the trailhead by the courthouse, to Laguna Lake and back, or vice versa!
From Laguna Lake, the west trailhead is to the northeast side, across Lakeside Dr.
I’d advise to watch out for other user’s, street and trail crossings and horse droppings along the way.
Public restrooms may be available at the southwest side of Laguna Lake, during regular operating hours.

We wanted to look for a safe place to walk and get some fresh air. My brother suggested Fullerton and said there are tons of trails. We made our way to Fullerton in search of a trail and randomly stumbled upon this gem while driving around neighborhoods staring at houses taking “dibs” as if there was ever a chance we’d ever own any of them. We found a parking spot and asked around for direction and duration of the trail.

It was a super easy walk, unless you did the full loop which was about 6miles. From the start of the trail at the courthouse to the lake is about 3 miles. There are lots of people walking so you feel safe and the path is wide so you don’t feel crowded. There are a few shady spots along the trail (as in shade from the sun, not nefarious activities).

One portion of the trail takes you into a residential neighborhood. There are no signs or path so it can be a tad confusing but there is always someone on the path so you can’t get lost.

We were delighted with our find and have been back many times.

Straight forward hike in two parts with a short walk through a neighborhood in between, about five and a half miles round trip. There were some really dope spots on this trail - you walk on a bridge over train tracks and pass Laguna Lake, there's even an adorable bench made out of tree trunks. Also when you get to the end you're so used to having houses and trees on either side of you that when you suddenly don't, the city kind of opens up to you, which is neat. At the end of the day though, most of the trail is just walking down a samey path viewing a bunch of backyards (as interesting as some may be).
