The Powerline Trail provides a convenient east-west route across Aurora. This concrete pathway begins in Horseshoe Park, where trailheads for the Cherry Creek Spillway Trail, Toll Gate Greek Trail and West Toll Gate Creek Trail can also be found.
The trail ends near Side Creek Park and Great Plains Park. The latter offers restrooms and picnic tables, as well as a sprayground, playground and sports fields.
Parking is available at either end of the trail: Horseshoe Park to the west and Great Plains Park to the east.
This trail runs under the power lines from the Toll Gate Creek Trail near Horseshoe Park to Jewell and Dunkirk. From here you can ride the sidewalk along Jewell to the Conservatory Trail that will take you south to Quincy. This trail has a climb that might be a challenge to newcomers but shouldn't be a problem for those with any experience at all. (Of course you can ride this the other way and your climb is on Conservatory) There are signaled crossings at Buckley, at Tower, and you must cross both east and south at Jewell and Dunkirk.
I love to bike this trail. Good time to think and ponder and listen to some tunes.
