A paved 5-mile La Quinta multi-use trail along the Cove with beautiful Santa Rosa Mountain backdrop.
The Bear Creek Trail is a paved multi-use path running roughly 5 miles along the western edge of La Quinta Cove, paralleling the Santa Rosa Mountains. It's heavily used by walkers, runners, cyclists, and dog walkers, and connects the city's neighborhoods to the Cove Oasis Trailhead.
🌟 Why Locals Go Here
Smooth pavement, mountain views, and zero cars — it's the valley's best urban walking/biking path.
What to Expect
Paved path, gentle grades, benches, water fountains at trailheads, and steady use throughout the day.
💡 Good to Know Before You Go
No shade — go early or late in warm months. Dogs must be leashed.
