Description:
The Little Dry Creek Trail provides a paved, relatively flat pathway for bikers, walkers, and skaters through areas of Westminster and northern Arvada. The tree-lined route follows its namesake, Little Dry Creek, notable for being the site of the first significant gold discovery in Colorado in 1858. Spanning 10 miles, the trail winds through busy neighborhoods as well as open spaces with some on-street portions. The best views can be found along its northwestern stretch, which passes through several parks, including Little Dry Creek Park, Woodrun Park, Lakecrest Park, and Michael Northry Park. For further exploring, an easy connection to Big Dry Creek Trail can be made at its northern end and Clear Creek Trail at its southern tip.

Little Dry Creek
By ajw in January, 2011
Great family outing trail. Gradual uphill as you go west. Scenic and enjoyable. Lots of variety of scenery.
