Complete the Donut Trail in ONE Morning
Posted on Aug 10
Do you want to do the Donut Trail in one morning?
The Donut Trail is a year-round activity that you can complete at your own pace. However, we get asked all the time... can you do it all in one morning? The answer is yes!
Passports + Routes
The first step is to get your passport. You can get one at any of the donut shops on the trail, or print off your own here. We also recommend planning out your route ahead of time. Your ideal route will depend on where you'll be starting from, the shop hours, and which shops close early.
The Donut Trail is a road trip consisting of around 80 miles. The shops are anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes away from one another. It's important to start EARLY if you plan to make it to all of the shops. All together, it took me about 4 hours to finish the trail. My starting time was 6:20am, leaving from the West Chester area.
Please note there is not one ideal route for experiencing the Donut Trail. There are many factors including the day you plan to travel and your starting location. To get your customized trail route please call the official Donut Trail concierge at 513-860-0917.

Your passport will already have this stamp because it's an optional stop. I was not able to get there in time before they closed. If you do make it, they have incredible cake donuts!
