Pittman wash is a fun trail to bike or walk where you can mostly avoid dealing with traffic. The side closer to pebble and eastern is usually my least favorite side to walk because a lot of the homes smell either of dog poop, smoke, or laundry detergent. It also has the least plants along that side, and is a bit flat. Biking is solid on that side though as its more even in the trail at the beggining there without areas that are getting repaired like closer to the opposite end. I feel like if you want to enjoy a really nice walk, starting on the side by the Arroyo grande sports park is more preferable. Around the middle of the trail is where it shifts a bit and changes. That side has more water and nature...also as dusk hits a lot of yipping coyotes. It can get a little creepy if you're alone. The trail has lights at night that go off from motion sensors, so you won't need a head lamp. There are multiple parks you can stop at along the walk, however not a lot of spots to grab food easily if you get hungry, so pack a snack if you are doing the full trail. They also have a whole separate trail closer to the old bridge that connects to pittman wash. read more

This is a nice paved trail that winds through the residences and a wash. The motion sensor lights get brighten up as you walk/run/bike past them. There's multiple concrete benches whenever you want to take a break from your trail activity. The trees are trimmed as to not get in the way of those who use the trail. There are auxiliary trails that go down into the wash area if you feel like exploring for a little bit. The local residences are usually out in full force when the weather is nice. Sometimes the trails can feel a little too narrow for the traffic on crowded days but not to the point where you have to stop or slow down. Just be aware of trail ahead and all is well. I've been running and biking on this trail for years now and it's a nice way to knock out some easy miles during a long training run. No matter how you travel on the Pittman Wash Trail, you're in for a pretty good time. Enjoy! read more

Pittman Wash Trail - Covid 19 visit - Hiking Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

A straight, flat, asphalt paved trail running the washout. It runs through residential areas and connecting parks. Looks like a real fun bike and skate road. Was a quiet walk overall, but I also liked that you were in civilization. Not too much worries for snakes, dirt or ankle injuries. read more

Now that it's cooler we aren't going so early in the morning. Get to sleep in for a change. They've done a lot of work, trimming trees & blowing leaves along the asphalt trail. Now they're cutting back the debris & removing some of the brush & trees down in the wash. Hopefully, all the work isn't affecting the wildlife too badly. We still see rabbits & road runners as we walk along. Use caution crossing Valle Verde even within the crosswalk, using the flashing light. Some drivers just don't slow down or stop. Must be in a big hurry. read more

Pittman Wash Trail - Trail & train trestle over Pittman Wash - Hiking Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

I vacationed in Las Vegas and ran the Upper and Lower Las Vegas Wash Trails and the Pittman Wash Trail. By far the Pittman Wash Trail was my favorite. I started at the Arroyo Grande Sports Complex and ran to Pecos Legacy Park and back (~6 miles total). I clocked 6.4 but I got lost crossing N. Green Valley Pkwy, because I started running down E. Windmill Pkwy before I realized I had missed getting back on the trail. Overall 210' of elevation gain on the way there and downhill on the way back. Beautiful scenery with a handful of other runners and walkers in the late morning. Very clean. I would highly recommend this trail over the other two. read more

Great trail to take your dogs on because of the tree and plant coverage. People on the trail are very courteous and friendly. Very relaxing because of the sounds of running water and nature. We saw birds, rabbits and squirrels along the trail. Nice convenient parking lots on both ends of the trail. read more

Decided to bike this trail as part of the Discover our Trails Scavenger Hunt the City of Henderson is hosting this May. If it weren't for this promotion, I would have never discovered how much fun it is to bike this trail! It is a great intermediate challenge (perhaps because I am a little out of shape right now! lol) and most of the views are quite pleasing. I will be back here often to bike or hike. Absolutely enjoyed it and had a lot of fun! Everything appears to be very well maintained and clean. I highly recommend bike and hike enthusiasts to give it a shot, at least once. It's even a great leisurely stroll! Moving back to Green Valley from Summerlin, it's little unknown gems like this that make the transition quite pleasing! :) read more

Pittman Wash Trail - Nice! :) - Hiking Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Paved trail next to the wash behind some neighborhoods. Some construction going on so there's noise from that and from the street too. I started from the west side and about 2.5 miles in, the trail was flooded so it was inaccessible. Saw quite a few walkers, some with dogs, and runners. read more

A well maintained trail for walking, running, or biking. The trail is actually paved with dirt trails below in several areas. One could get a few miles in on this trail and make it even longer by joining up with The Arroyo Grande Sports Complex. There are even scenic stop offs with picnic tables. Even though the trail crosses several major roads the trail is very quiet and relaxing as it cuts through residential neighborhoods. Each major road has an underground path so that you don't have to cross busy roads. I was glad to find this option as it seems like a much safer way to travel the path. The path was free of garbage and animal waste. We saw volunteers cleaning up the area close to the wash as we walked too. I was glad to see that not only does the city maintain the path, but the public using the trail takes pride in keeping it clean. The area around the path was also prettier than I expected with green grass in areas and trees along the trail that were well cared for too. read more

Pittman Wash is a 4 mile multi-use (walking, running, biking and hiking in some parts) greenway running through the newer parts of Henderson (from Pebble Road (near Eastern Ave) to Arroyo Grande Blvd). The wash was originally a natural channel for flood water to push its way west to east across Henderson and the city took advantage of the natural feature to 1) ensure protection from flooding and 2) provide a recreation area for residents away from traffic. On most weekends, you'll find the paved path filled with runners and bikers and families getting a little exercise. In one special portion of the wash (between Green Valley Pkwy and Valle Verde Dr), the city left the wash undisturbed in its natural condition. Nature trails run along the floor of this portion of the wash, winding along through Mojave desert brush and trees. This undisturbed portion is one of the few spaces where city planners in the Vegas valley chose to leave a natural feature among the planned roads and subdivisions. And it's wonderful.

This trail has received a bit of a well-needed make-over that I really like. The lights all work and are now brighter, the trail has been re-paved and there are these cool artsy-type trail markers now with the name of the trail. I don't go often, especially right now because spring out here gives me a headache, but I really enjoy the trail. My dogs do, too! The new pavement is much nicer on their paws. Great because it's next to my house and you see the occasional exercise enthusiast, but whenever I go it's never too busy. read more

Pittman Wash Trail - 5/1/14 - Hiking Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

A nice oasis in this busy city. Has a paved trail to ride you bike or walk or blade or whatever you fancy. We took our dogs down into the wash to explore. We saw plenty of plants and flowers. Birds were chirping and there were squirrels and rabbits crossing our path. A bit noisy near the edges, but when we walked down in the middle of the wash, at times it was total peace and quiet. We parked at the Pecos Park on Pecos/Windmill and the trail was easily accessible from there. read more

A place to get some peace and quiet without leaving the city. Pittman wash offers solitude and an easy and for the most part well lit path to guide you along. This place is a great place to burn some blubber while exercising or just when you need to get some air and get out of the house. The folks on the trail are usually nice and considerate. You can either walk on the sidewalk above the wash or the dirt paths located in the wash. I usually frequent here during summer nights to get my nightly walk in. You can see some wildlife here if you are patient, such as rabbits tons of em, lizards, quail and such. read more

I have recently discovered this trail. It is an awesome place for a walk/jog or bike ride. We (my Rottweiler puppy and me), walk two miles out and two miles in from Arroyo Park. It is all paved. There are places where you can go down into the wash and hike the trails. We have seen quail, roadrunners and bunnies! Sorry for the lack of pictures but to difficult with my puppy. Get out there early as it is getting hot fast and there isn't much shade. The trail runs between neighborhoods next to the wash. I feel very safe there. read more

The wash is a wonderful, natural space carved out int he middle of Green Valley. The wash spans about 4 miles starting at Pebble and ending at Arroyo Grande. Pay attention to the paths that run under the street and you can walk the entire expanse without ever having to cross a street. It's well planned and quite lovely. It's not unusual to see rabbits or roadrunners while on the path. This natural oasis truly celebrates our desert environment. There is a walking path running on one side that can be used for walking, running, biking, etc. The path draws families and sport's enthusiasts alike. It's never overly crowded, and your leashed (and hopefully friendly) dog will find plenty of buddies along the way. I read Rob O's review of the Pittman Wash Trail and was so impressed with the information. Read his review to learn about the history of the wash. read more

This is one of the best trails in Las Vegas by far that i've been on. The entire way is paved for you with proximity lights that get brighter as you run towards it and it helps you to see people from a far that are running towards you as well. I enjoy night running and so far i've had no run ins with any predators (knock on wood) but i'd make sure you'd bring a friend just in case. You can park your car at the park on pebble and eastern by the colonade 14 and use the assisted cross guard to notify cars that you will be crossing. This trail ends at arroyo grande marking about 4 miles one way. Great foliage accompanies you as you run through this otherwise desolate city, providing better air and wildlife to join you as you run. There is one water fountain 0.5 miles into the trail from the pebble side, legacy park, and the park at arroyo has water fountains too. This trail is great but if you want somewhere relatively more open and safer to jog at night in, the trail on st.rose is good too read more

Nice place for biking, running, roller balding, walking a dog, or pushing a stroller. The paths are paved, they flow nicely and are clean. People in the area are very nice, it's normal for them to say hi to you, maybe even strike up a conversation. The path also is broken up so you can go for as long or short of a time as you want. Where we lived in Henderson there was only one way in and one way out near our complex so that was a bit annoying for me but I imagine that isn't everyones situation going here. If you have a dog these washes are good because they offer doggie bags and garbage posts throughout most areas which is convenient. At night it is not well lit, so I would recommend going during dawn to dusk hours. Also if you get tired there are benches along the path to sit and rest, have a snack, enjoy the weather or ponder life. Overall great place to utilize during good weather for someone activity. Been here about 15 times now, but have never gone the whole thing! read more

Here is a plea from a biker to all the other bicycle riders who want to enjoy the trail .I am a snow bird from Alaska. I live in Henderson five and a half months of the year during the winter, near the east end of the trail. I bike the trail every day gong uphill (East to West) twice each morning. I ride the streets back to the start of the trail. Pebble to Pecos, Pecos to Warm Springs and Warm Springs to the lower end of the trail then up the trail for a second time. If the weather is warm the trail can be crowded. Especially on the weekend. I always warn people I overtake that there is a bike passing on their left. Most people seem to appreciate this. And I always try to look for a situation that might be a danger to the other guy or dog so I can slow down in time. I have a bike computer so I know I can hit speeds up to 20 MPH going uphill on the trail. I do not ride downhill on the trail unless I absolutely have to as my speed can exceed 35 MPH. (Over 40 if I really push it) And this is by a guy who is 65 years old! So if you ride a bike down the trail please use extreme caution. It has not happened here but in Alaska on a similar trail on a steep downhill stretch, I did have to lock up the brakes due to an idiot doing a sudden U turn and not knowing I was behind him. It is not fun going over the handlebars. And the recovery process takes a little longer than it use to. Enjoy the trail and enjoy the very friendly people on the trail. And please be courteous. It is a great place to get a little exercise or just some away time. Even though I do not know anyone's name who I see on the trail, I must exchange a verbal "Good Morning" with at least 25 or more people a day. read more

We wanted to go for a longer bike ride without the risk of getting run over by a vehicle. This trail is close to our home and easy to access. This trail is great as is it paved and runs along the wash. Since it's between residential areas, it's very peaceful and quiet! The trail also goes beneath the major crossroads so you don't have to stop for traffic. It's great! There are also picnic tables and benches at various points along the way. If you have a furry four legged friend, there are plenty of waste bag sites. This trail makes for a great path for exercise or just an enjoyable walk with loved ones! read more

A GEM of a trail! A coworker recommended this trail and I decided to try it out on a beautiful Sunday. Started at Pebble and Eastern and went all the way to the park at Arroyo Grande in Henderson. Saw a lot of people walking and biking on the trail, as lots of birds chirping and flying about. Lots of places to stop and take a rest as well! A great workout that I will experience again soon I'm sure. read more

Pittman Wash Trail - Off of the entrance at Pecos - Hiking Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

This trail used to be a four or five, but so much has changed. The city is modifying the trail so they took out a lot of trees that offered shade and a lot of natural beauty. I would frequently stop to take pictures on a run or ride, but now much of it is torn out. One of the pedestrian cross-unders that kept you safely away from the road at Green Valley - one of the busiest roads. Worst of all - the trail has become a toilet for dogs. I love dogs, and I even run with mine on this trail so it is sad to see other dog owners who do not clean up after their dog. The level of waste, and the smell is just too much. In addition, there has been a sharp increase in unleashed dogs that run up to you, chase you, or just want to be friendly while you're trying to keep a pace. This used to be a great trail with a lot of regulars. No more. read more

I love this place, but there is a lot of broken glasses on the path and homeless people wondering around here. It would be nice if we can maintain and take care of this park for the families in the neighborhood for them to enjoy. read more

More like a million stars! This is probably the best place for running in the city, and I'm lucky enough to live down the street! The path is newly paved, away from street traffic, landscaped (although parts just have the natural 'wash' ambiance), and has underground crossings at most intersections...what more could you want? Pittman wash trail is about 5 wonderful miles, but it's also easy to use the trail to connect to the 215, st rose, and other paths a all over the southeast valley. read more

Great multi use trail. Nice to run on in the am. Too many people later in the day. My only complaint is people listening to music or talking and not paying attention. Just move and stay to the side if this is you. Nice at night too. The lights that the city installed make it to were you do not need any additional head lights. Enjoy read more

My favorite place to walk my pups!! The trail is well lighted at night and I've never felt unsafe walking my dogs here even very late at night. Trail is always very well kept. I also love all of the interesting animal sounds you hear from the wash that you don't really get to experience anywhere else in the city. Bonus is that at night, rabbits come out and my dogs love seeing the rabbits hopping around. read more

Love spend time in morning n evening jus for walk or jogging ,its such lil quiet place, u can bring ur pet walk on here also u can see some desert creature on the park sometimes :D ... im often to go here, n mybe anyone want be my workout buddy would be fun :) read more

So I spend a lot of time doing things that are dog friendly, and walking this trail is one of them. I access the trail from the east end over on Arroyo Grande and make my way westbound with the furball. The trail is paved and there's lots of spots so the dog can sniff and since it is paved, I have little concern for any random injury to paws (or my own feet for that matter). Though with the random woodland creatures showing up, I'm fortunate my dog is well-trained so I don't have to chase down a dog running after scampering squirrels and rabbits. This trail is clean and once you're on it, you can easily forget you're in a city as you look out onto the desert flora. I often find other people walking their dogs, walking with their children, and joggers and bicyclists, too. All in all, this is a very friendly and leisurely stroll and I enjoy it. read more

Today was the 1st time I have walked the trail and I just can't believe this has been in my "backyard" for all these years I've lived in Henderson. I was in awe of all the wildlife here in the desert. There was even a small stream of water running. The only downside was a couple of tractors doing some sort of work and part of the trail I was on was grated away from said tractors. But I'm sure there's a legitimate reason for it. I will return for sure and much cheaper more often especial at this time of year before it gets too hot. read more

Can't get enough of the wildlife alone you see walking on the paved trail or on the marked trails in the wash..

From the perspective of a biker. There was a good balance of elevation changes in both directions and the path is in overall good condition. A few spots to look out for with standing water and sand in turns. The pedestrian traffic is a bit challenging. Unleashed dogs and owners that wait until the very last minute to pull in fido. Don't mind slowing down or stopping for kids, congestion or the nice ladies doing yoga...I may try the road course back down as another reviewer described. read more

A Beautious get-away feel in our Henderson Backyard place to get out and walk off the day with a view.

Nice paved path . It's also lighted at night. There is easy access to get down into the wash just stay on the trail. Dog loves it. There's no drinking fountains so remember to bring your own water. read more

Best one i have been on so far. Fully paved nice scenery and landscaping. Don't hesitate to check it out.

I love this trail! It's long enough to where you can get a workout without getting hit by cars. Its also very peaceful with only the sounds of nature and others using the trail. It also a great spot to watch the sunset on the bench near the Palm trees read more
