So glad to see NM not buying the covid bs. It was a wonderful visit, good people enjoying Willow Creek.

Phenomenal area to spend some time with the family. Comfortable space to set up a canopy comfortably. Easy area to get into the water to cool off.

Today (Sat) walked the 2 mile Willow Creek trail with my dogs. I was surprised to see LARGE GROUPS of 10 or more tightly congregated with NO MASKS! I was careful to stay far from these groups. They all look to be under 25 and youths. THIS PLACE IS CORONA-VIRUS CENTRAL. AVOID!

Its a nice trail that looks to be pretty well kept up. Looking at the maps I thought it would have more views of the river, but there was really only one spot that got all that close to the river. When I went it was during the monsoons and parts of the trail were flooded and very muddy. It was still a nice walk. The road to the spot is pretty easy to miss and its a bit on the thin side of things. The road is maintained its just something to keep in mind with larger vehicles at busier times.

This place is beautiful and nice for walking, running, biking.

I at least go once a week nice area that connects with a walking system that you can take for about 30 miles all the way south of the Albuquerque airport.

Beautiful place for photographers and casual hikers. Google Maps is off, but if you figure out how to get here, you’ll definitely enjoy it!Gets very busy during “golden hour” so I recommend photogs stopping in during the weekdays for any paid or pro work. I had a hard time getting shots without people in them or without someone running to catch their off-leash dog (sigh)...

Beautiful location with lots of beach and plenty of places to swim. Great view of the mountains and kept clean!

Lovely place. Just under 2 miles for the loop. Trail is wide and connects with the northern trail head in Rivers Edge 2, with a few smaller, narrower trails for off the beaten path walking, a small beach on the Rio Grande to watch the river, and plenty of geese, rabbits, and even some deer and coyotes if youre lucky to see them, and the cottonwood forest is well maintained. I walk this trail nearly every morning with a friend. Beautiful place

Had a great time playing in the water. The people living in the tents tucked in amongst the trees seemed to hang out on the outskirts of the play area. The sand was hot. People cleaned up after themselves and everyone got along. It was a nice day.

Leaves changing nicely. My dogs always enjoy

Great place for walking, walking your dogs. Quiet, nice little glen with benches.

Nice little area to go for a walk. Very well maintained trails, great for biking as well. Easy access to the river. Love taking my dogs here. Lots of wildlife. One of my favorites in the bosque!

This Trail is full wildlife and places to explore fun for whole family if you love the outdoors! I would definitely recommend it!

Willow Creek is a great spot to get out to nature without having to leave the city. It offers biking, hiking, walking and water play. Its well maintained and accessible.

This is a beautiful area. It was really grown over but there was still a nice path.

The entrance can be tricky but it was nice walk.

Love to take the dogs down here. It’s a nice walk through the Bosque and several spots on the water, great pictures of the Rio Grande.

This is a very good local hiking and running spot. The trails are well maintained, and there are multiple places to access the river on foot. There are park benches and educational signs throughout, however, the signs have become faded due to sun exposure.Numerous species can be seen throughout the year, to include rat snakes and falcons. Ducks and Geese frequent the river banks as well. Bring a leash for your pets, as this is a very popular dog walking location. Poo bags and trash bins are provided, but public water is not.

Most other areas in the Rio Grande Bosque have narrow three foot paths that meander through the woods. Here, theyre gravel and nearly five feet wide, with mile markers totaling three miles, with path connections leading to the river bank, to the rest of the Bosque trails further south towards Corrales, and an exit to the North end that leads into the Bernalillo side. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

We always use this space for boys scout meeting. Great place to meet

I love this trail it is incredibly peaceful and calm. Dogs are allowed on the trail. And the river is very close to the trail.

Nice walking trails with lots of shaded areas. Only disappointment was some trail paths near the water are closed because of flood and fast currents earlier in the year that made these areas unstable. But I was glad it was posted and closed for safety.

It was fun. The water was cold

Beautiful cold January along the Bosque.

This is a regular spot for our weekly family fun days.

Very beautiful and relaxing trails

Well keep trails. Easy hike. Animal friendly.

Love the walk to the river. Theres benches as well if you just wanna walk around and not go to the river.

Well maintained with shaded areas and open areas. The trail goes down by the river. Its a circular trail that has a couple trails dividing it. You can go all the way around or use one of the cross trails for a shorter walk if you wish.

Shady at the start on the west side. Not much shade on the east side. But a nice change from the desert.

Great place to get a walk in and relax your mind

What an amazing place. Had no idea this was here. Love the shade and clear paths and various benches to take in the sites or just breathe in the area. Take your dogs for a nice walk (clean up after yourself). Ample parking too. Beautiful setting by the boy scout area to make unforgettable memories.

Beautiful, easy walking path through the Bosque.

Nice flat trail, some sand. There is not as much tree cover but there is some.

Lovely hike along the Deschutes River, Bend, Oregon.

What a great place. You wouldnt know you were in Rio Rancho, not even seeing houses in some cases in these open spaces. Great for people and pets.

Very scenic and nice place to walk, run, bike and bring your dog. The only thing missing is a water fountain.

The trail needs cleaning up badly, if a fire started there would be no stopping it. We love going there for our walks and would hate to see it dissappear. Fran

Fun to walk on but some signs where broken.

Nice walk, nice Sandia views, but watch your step because some people dont clean up after their dogs.

Beautiful hiking/running trail..

This is one of my favorite entrances to the Bosque, mostly because its on the Loop end of the west side of the Rio Grande. Its closer to my house when I want something short sweet and sandy! ;)

I cant believe Ive lived here for eight years and hadnt been on this trail! Its gorgeous -- a perfect walk/exploration area for families. Took my 4 and 6-year-old daughters and they ran through arroyos, splashed in a shallow section of the river, caught tadpoles, played under cottonwoods and aspen trees, and had a picnic by the river. Plenty of shade -- or sun -- and many tributary paths off the main path if youre looking for adventures. We saw several other people, but it wasnt at all crowded like the paved bike path or other open spaces paths weve walked.

This park is very big and beautiful its right off the side of a Road near Taylor Ranch its a wonderful place to bring your family where you can all just relax and hang out. Its big enough for you can hold a party and its just a wonderful beautiful open space

Great place to walk an chill!

Beautiful place! Perfect place to take my adventurous dog: ) The view is only something God can create: )

Very pretty trails, especially in the fall and spring. Plenty of shade which makes for a pleasant walk.

Nice place to go for a walk.

Close to home, easy access, nature, easy trail

This is a great place for bird watching, dog walking, and sun catching!

Awesome little hideaway!

Beautiful place for my Grandsons wedding to his beautiful bride

Great place to take the family out for a walk. Near the river.

So pretty here.

Beautiful!!

Nice loop. Will be great when connected to larger trail system along Rio Grande.

A little sad I’ve lived in Rio Rancho for 3 years and I’ve only now discovered this beautiful spot. My dog, Haru, and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves down on the banks of the Rio Grande. We can’t wait to get back out there and explore more!

This trail was maintained very well. There was enough parking space and there are other hikers, so it felt like a safe environment.

Fun trail great for walking, running and biking. Trail is all hard pack crusher fine. Multiple signs on path explaining habitat in the area and also a side path directly to the Rio grande.

Great walk along river Please clean up after your dogs.has a bag and dump station at parking lot for dropping.beautful at sun set jff

Great place to walk my dog and take in some nature. Geese, coyotes, snakes and porcupine are the local residents. Not as fancy as the trail in Albuquerque, but also not as crowded.

My baby girl dog loved it.

Great place for a walk, jog, whatever! sandy, level loop trail along Rio Grande Bosque and beautiful Sandias behind river, some paths lead down to river, loop is approx 2 miles, there is another out and back trail that you reach when you go right from trailhead, then up a rocky trail off to the right, it goes out about 2 miles all along the river, beautiful views! So 4 miles round-trip....both trails are beautiful, peaceful, once you go there you will always go back!

Nice place

Very nice location shade and exposed areas.

Awesome Bosque trail, a large portion is right next to the Rio grande and gorgeous views the whole way. Not paved all crusher fines covered paths.

Great hiking or biking area

Trails washed out and muddy.

I would give it 5 outta 5 but im obese

You will enjoy the crush rocked groomed trail that makes an oval just short of two miles long, grab the kids and the dog and get out.
