Woodland Hills: Nature, Trails and Disc Golf

Woodland Hills combines a rural, wooded setting with specific opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. These include Woodland Hills City Park, the Birdie Disc Golf Course, and four loops with different trail lengths and elevation gains. In the winter months, groomed areas for classic cross-country skiing, winter walks, and snowshoeing are added. When choosing a destination, the landscape, measurable routes, and seasonal activities are all part of the picture.

Woods, meadows, and expansive views

Woodland Hills has a rural, wooded character, provides habitat for wildlife, and is known for its expansive views. Woodland Hills City Park sits at an elevation of about 6,000 feet. Its trails pass through wooded areas and meadows. The shifts between forest and open spaces give the park trails varied scenic character.

Disc golf in City Park

The Birdie Disc Golf Course was established in City Park in 2014 and is a 9-hole course. It combines tight throws between trees with play in open fields; from the course, views stretch across Utah Valley. Unlike the loops, which are described by their length and elevation gain, this activity is defined by its hole format and the mix of wooded and open playing areas. Disc golf and the loops therefore offer distinct options to consider when planning a trip.

Loops by length and elevation gain

Four loops in Woodland Hills can be compared by length and elevation gain. The Park Loop is 0.5 miles long with 56 feet of elevation gain. The Eagle Nest Loop is 1.0 mile with 100 feet of elevation gain, and the Loafer Loop is 1.3 miles with 290 feet. The Oak Loop is 3.3 miles long with 616 feet of elevation gain.

Across the four routes, length and elevation gain increase together: from the Park Loop, the shortest route with the least elevation gain, through Eagle Nest and Loafer to the Oak Loop, which has the greatest values. In this set, each longer route also has a greater elevation gain. When weighing the loops, you can consider both measurements together; they follow the same order.

Winter activities

During the winter months, Woodland Hills City Park and Lauritzen Field are groomed for classic cross-country skiing, winter walks, and snowshoeing. Grooming depends on winter conditions and local operations. The same three activities are groomed at both locations, so when choosing a winter activity, you can start with the type of activity you prefer. Check current grooming conditions before your winter visit so you can plan around the conditions.

Bigtooth Maple Festival

Local history

A city post dated September 15, 2025, refers to a history film about Woodland Hills. If you also consider historical themes when choosing a destination, you can regard the film as an additional cultural point of reference.
