Confirmed from Bonneville Shoreline Trailhead'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.
Hiking area with a public restroom offering trails for walking, running, and biking.
What runners say about Bonneville Shoreline Trailhead
“Nice trail that has both great views of the Utah valley as well as Provo Canyon.”
“I love running on the trail.”
Great trail for family hikes! Pretty view and it goes for miles and miles.
Nice trail that has both great views of the Utah valley as well as Provo Canyon. Basically flat trail that is well maintained. There's also multiple trails, dirtbike paths, etc that branch out from this trail.
It’s a great location. We went a mile and it was a dirt road the whole time. It has a few trails to follow when you want to get off the road. It has a good incline to it. Beautiful views! Saw bikers, runners, horseback riders, and hikers.
This was a great trail for the first hike of the season! It was fairly easy with a few rolling hills to climb. There were a few muddy spots, but they were easy enough to walk around.

“It was fairly easy with a few rolling hills to climb.”
“It's also pretty muddy in spots as of December 2023, so wear sturdy shoes you don't mind getting dirty.”
