Shiloh Ranch Trails
Length:7.9 miles of trails
Shiloh Ranch Regional Park encompasses 860 acres of
former ranchland near the town of Windsor. The 7.9 mile trail system offers
moderately difficult hiking on dirt trails. Shiloh is the only Regional Park
that does not allow dogs on trails, although they are welcome in the group
picnic area. The trail system allows users to create several loop options of
varying length. For an extensive tour of the park, take the Big Leaf Trail to
the Canyon Trail, connect with the Pond Trail, and finish the loop by returning
to the parking lot on the Creekside Trail. Alternately, the loop can be
extended with a 1.6 mile out and back along the Mark West Creek Trail, or
shortened by taking the South Ridge Trail cutoff. Many of the trails are former
ranch roads, and their width coupled with ample horse trailer parking makes
Shiloh a popular destination for equestrians. The Ridge Trail area tends to get
warm in summer months, while the Creekside Trail offers a shady respite from
the heat. Most of the hikes wind through oak woodland with views of the Santa
Rosa plain.
