Confirmed from Bonelli Park Trail'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“Beautiful park that is very well under used, sitting here on a picture perfect Sunday and nobody around.”

Took my family here for a second time. The weather was cold this time around, but still had a great time. Close to LA but a world away from city life. We tried our luck fishing but didn't catch anything. Other people we talked to said they caught trout.

I came down here for an unexpected short visit from Santa Cruz located 6 hours north. Glad I brought my mountain bike. Now I'm used to riding in the mountains with redwood forests by the coast but I really enjoyed the long trails and steep areas along with the various types of vegetation and beautiful eco systems…

Beautiful park that is very well under used, sitting here on a picture perfect Sunday and nobody around. The park has a nice little lake with a boat ramp, nice trails, plenty of picnic tables, and an amazing amount of green grass. Highly recommended!!

★★★★★ — Rick , Jan 2020

The view from this hike was beautiful. Started off as a pretty mellow walk around the lake than gets into a nice hike.

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.
