What to expect on Fullerton Loop Trail – Brea Dam loop from Fullerton
The trail offers a surprisingly varied journey through North Fullerton, quickly making you forget you're in an urban setting. You'll encounter a mix of dirt singletrack and doubletrack, winding through shaded creek corridors and rolling hills.

Planning your visit
The Fullerton Loop is a beloved urban trail system, accessible for training rides and family outings. While it's surprisingly easy to follow, many junctions are not explicitly marked, so using a GPS mapping application is highly recommended to navigate the full loop effectively. The trail is multi-use, shared harmoniously with hikers, runners, and equestrians, so be mindful of others. Parking is generally available at various access points around the loop, but arriving earlier in the day is always a good idea, especially on weekends.
