Confirmed from Bonus County Path'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.

What runners say about Bonus County Path

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (4 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I drove by this path for years and finally got a chance to walk it. From the parking lot to the intersection of Lawrenceville and Business 20 is 1.44 miles, or nearly 3 miles round-trip. There is a horse farm adjacent to the trail and plenty of wildlife. The path is relatively new and free of potholes.

★★★★★ — Derreck , May 2025

Not very busy, awesome view of neighboring farm. Runs into Lawrenceville Rd

The practical stuff

  • AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
