The creativity of the Animal Crossing community really is never-ending, and that couldn’t be truer than when it comes to the custom path designs. Some prefer paths that match existing assets or blend into the greater universe, while others prefer paths that stand out and make a statement. No matter which you prefer, we’ve got you covered. Paths, borders and mini paths, and some are even full sets with multiple options: Here are 10 of the best path designs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
