Nice trail to walk especially with doggos! They love seeing all the bunnies and ducks on the trail as we walk and are always ready for naps by the end of it. Such nice scenery and very well lit at night as well on one segment of the trail which is about .50 long and enough to get their energy out at night while still feeling safe read more

Paseo Trail - Hiking Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I'm currently training for a half marathon and I had seen this trail in passing and thought it might be a good place to do my "long runs". It is perfect for a nice a easy run. I was able to go 12.5 miles and while it was not easy (because of the distance) the trail itself was flat and there was a lot to see. Cows, ducks, llamas, pretty parks, people riding horses...you've got it all! Definitely better than my typical Chandler green belt jaunts! read more

During COVID season when the gyms closed up, this trail helped keep me in shape. The Consolidated Canal is 18 miles long and runs through Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler. I like when they build recreational paths along these canals. The water brings a little coolness to your run and there are always ducks in the water. The Chandler portion in 6.5 miles and is called the Paseo Trail. One side of the path is concrete and the other side is dirt. It is popular with walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and horseback riders. The trail begins at Galveston St. and continues south to Riggs Rd. It is known as the Heritage Trail once you get into Gilbert. I like to run and I started getting up early and running on this trail after gyms were closed. It's nice and long and the concrete side is pretty wide (about 10 feet). It can get a little busy early morning hours and late evenings. Many bike riders and joggers use the trail during these times to beat the heat. read more

Paseo Trail - Hiking Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

The Paseo Trail travels through Chandler along the Consolidated Canal. It runs mostly N-S, connecting to other trails along the canal in Mesa and Gilbert, totaling around 18 miles. The trail is mostly paved on the east side of the canal and pea gravel hard pack on the west side. It runs along subdivisions, golf courses and even a couple farms. The grade is very gentle throughout. I would consider the trail primarily for use by joggers, bicyclists and equestrians. There is parking at the address listed for the trail and nearby parking at Tumbleweed Recreation Center at McQueen and Germann. There is also easy to find street parking near many of the junctions with major streets. A good southern starting point is off of Riggs Rd. between Arizona and McQueen. There is plenty of street parking. From here the ride north is mostly a slight uphill ride, making the return trip a nice relaxing roll. One issue with the trail is crossings with major streets. Most are not marked for motorists as trail crossings and there is no crosswalk so you may be faced with a relatively long wait to get a break in traffic or forcing the issue and forging ahead with care. read more

This trail runs along the east side of the Consolidated Canal for 6.5 miles between Galveston St. and Riggs Rd. I would consider this to be a multi-use trail; bikes, roller blades, skateboards, running, scooting, and more. It is my understanding that the west side of the canal is unimproved and can be used for horseback riding and gravel bikes. The trails continues past the extent of the CC and has multiple pavement: rigid, flexible, dirt, and gravel. Some areas are lit with overhead lamps but I would recommend using a light regardless of the location or time of day. And just like all other places in Chandler there is access to an abundance of parks and greenbelts. read more

Great place for walking and biking. As we walked north from Chandler road parking, we walked alongside of the canal to see ducks and birds. One family along the way has chickens a horse and a goat which was fun to watch. read more

I love this trail my hubby and I walk it all the time. They have cute ducks and always nice friendly people and security too that drives up and down the canal. Park near it too read more

Paseo Trail - Walking the trail with my hot hubby - Hiking Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I like to run here: it is close to home, away from traffic hazards, you pass some nice homes, people fishing, cyclists, walkers, and the occasional equestrian. One side of the canal is paved, while the other is gravel, if you want to mix up your terrain. There's not much shade, so preparing for sun exposure is a must, particularly in the summer. The water does attract Mosquitos and other stinging insects, so I always use repellant. Definitely a good place to get outside! * there are water stops, but carry your own JIK * ** public restrooms are available at points along trail ** *** watch your footing: there's horse poop along the trail *** read more

I've been rollerblading on this trail for about 7 years now. It's really nice because it's smooth, straight and for the most part, not overly populated. I park at the end of Frye road(a little further down the street from Bologna elementary school)which is where the trail head starts. I think it's about 5 miles of paved straight trails or so. I stay on the far left side since it's smoother than the black top. Be careful crossing the streets, the sun is bright in the afternoon, I've seen cars fly through it. read more

I love this trail for many reasons. First of all it's close to home! haha Oh wait that might not be true for everyone! This trail is paved for biker, runners, cyclists, and even roller bladders. It's well lit and you feel safe being on this trail in the evening time. There are water stops every couple of miles on the trail and there are shady parts too. The trail is mainly in the sun, so make sure that you wear sunscreen and a hat. Also, there are bags and trash cans on the trail for your pets! read more

Well - I am not sure I consider this a true "trail." It's more like a paved bike/walk/horse path in the middle of Chandler. What I like is that it's not normally very crowded and it's in good condition (no cracks in pavement or overgrowth on path). Would be awesome if it connected to the Consolidated Canal so you could just stick to the trail and avoid using roads if you wanted a longer ride (I use this for biking when I don't want to deal with traffic). It's not scenic and I don't think it's meant to be. Its purpose is to give people a safe trail to use for outdoor activities. One thing I will mention - It does go by a cow farm which can get a bit "aromatic" during the warmer months. read more

This is a great path for any activity- running, walking, biking. I used this during my marathon training 5 times a week last year. While I would not consider it a trail in the traditional sense, it's a great paved route along the eastern side of the canal. The western side of the canal is unpaved in areas. There's also plenty of fish, turtles, and ducks to see. I especially love running past the llamas (between Pecos and 202) and the cows (between Germann and Queen Creek). read more

Fabulous paved trail running from Chandler Heights on the south to Warner Road on the north. The major street crossing are easy enough to negotiate - especially on a bicycle. The only downside of the trail is the exposure. nearly all of it has 100% sun exposure - not a problem in January, but it can get a tad toasty along the trail in June. No water or rest room facilities. read more

I discovered this trail while doing some online research and decided to check it out in person. The trail starts at the southwest corner of Gilbert and Warner Roads in Gilbert, Arizona, and is paved all the way to Queen Creek Road, some 6.5 miles to the southwest. It offers a nice variety of scenery, considering its location in one of the largest urban areas in the country, and in fact several farms are located along the route. At no time was I ever bored by the passing scenery, and I might even take my camera along for some future excursion along this route. Highly recommended, especially for avid cyclists who want to avoid car traffic and congestion as much as possible. read more

Nice trail. It reminds me a bit of a desert version of the Constitution Trail in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois. It was exactly as described: paved, ran directly next to a canal, goes through various parts of town and crosses main roads nearby the crosswalks. However, being in town on business, I wasn't aware of where else to park and jump on, so I parked at the address listed which ended up being a park. I liked that there were bathrooms available BUT, although in the middle of a residential area, there was a transient resting on the bench directly outside the bathrooms. I didn't see him at first and I was the only one parked and in the park. Scared me a little when I ventured down the path alone as well as when I came back to get in my car. The trail itself was nice, and as others have posted, it was in direct sunlight the entire time. I thought it was pretty, but without any shade and the only view besides houses was the canal, it got a bit boring. Perhaps if I venture to try this again, I will try to locate a better spot to jump on for some shade and different scenery besides houses and canal. :) read more
