Confirmed from Bonelli Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

The Beautiful Bonelli Park is the one with trails, lake, fishing, water activities, playground, picnic areas and There is lot more to offer. Dogs friendly. During the weekend and summer, the car park is not free, they charge $12 parking fees.

★★★★☆ — Maggie , Jun 2024

Great trails for hiking, MTB and road cycling through the park as well. Beatiful views of the lake, dam and Raging Waters waterpark nearby. An outing for your family with fishing, bbq, picnic and relaxing.

★★★★★ — Christian , Aug 2022

Beautiful park with beautiful views. Comes complete with crocking frogs, honking geese, hopping bunnies, hiking/biking trails, and fishing. My only complaint is the so-called market. Not much can be found in there.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🏞️ Scenic views 16 mentions

“If you want a lake view surrounded by mountains with birds singing and ducks swimming, this is the perfect, stress reliever place that you can go without any fees.”
