Description
Closely following its scenic namesake waterway for most of its journey, the popular Boulder Creek Path runs east from Boulder Canyon to the outskirts of the Valmont Reservoir. Its western end is dirt and gravel, which becomes paved as the trail enters the city and travels through downtown Boulder, community parks and the University of Colorado campus.
Parking and Trail Access
The Boulder Creek Path can be accessed from Eben G. Fine Park, near the trail's western end, as well as other parks along the way.
