Bob’s Woods is a series of trails within the woods of St. Bonaventure University that was officially created and named after the death of Fr. Robert M. Stewart O.F.M., who used the trails to run after he was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. He passed away on September 1st, 2001. On October 1, 2007, the Bob’s Woods trails were officially open thanks to the help of BonaResponds, who cleaned and curated the trails so that they would be usable. The trails are available to members of the University and the public, and are used in every season. The trail entrance is located nearby a restroom, and the trails also connect to the Bona-Loop.
