Fountain Creek Regional Trail

South Start: Start at Grinde Drive or Duckwood Trailhead

July, 2025 by robmidgley

Started a second time at Duckwood & rode down to the closed bridge, then north 5 miles before turning back. Wanted to do the full length but we lost too much time with the earlier start point. This portion of the trail is in constant use and great condition. Will absolutely be back to get the full ride north!

Fountain Creek Regional Trail

Do not start from the southernmost point!

July, 2025 by robmidgley

Tried to ride the full length starting at the south access point just south of the vacant office building. The trail is becoming overgrown, then blocked by a massive deadfall tree, which leads to some bushwhacking, just to find the trail no longer connects to the bridge due to river erosion. Rode back out to the road and our car on the access road just north of the abandoned office building.

Cherry Creek Regional Trail

October Bliss

November, 2024 by trailsforall

I rode this trail on a rented bike on a beautiful late October Sunday in 2024 while in Denver for a conference. I started near the intersection of Sherman Street and Speer Blvd, riding northwest toward the Platte River trail / Confluence Park before turning around and riding out of the city to the southeast. I was very impressed by the trail etiquette of other users: families with strollers, runners, joggers, and all range of cyclists at various speeds. It was a glorious and sunny 60 degree day a few weeks after the season's first snowfall, and traces of snow were still in the shadows under trees. I followed the trail all the way to the Cherry Creek Reservoir State Park before turning around. This trail is wide, smooth, fast, and best of all, has VERY FEW intersections with vehicular traffic. In my opinion, it's the best urban greenway I've ever ridden on. I look forward to someday returning and doing the entire 47 mile route.

Rock Island Trail (CO)

Added connection

September, 2024 by stevebench58

I was happy to see that they finally extended this trail, and added 2 miles from where it meets the Shooks Run trail to the Pikes Peak Greenway trail (at Beacon & Van Buren.), including an underpass at the Nevada crossing. Well done COS!

Rock Island Trail (CO)

Could be marvelous

August, 2024 by mmcnussbaum

This could be the best commuter trail with a little work. City of Colorado Springs: PLEASE build an underpass at Academy Blvd. That crossing is presently dangerous for schoolchildren trying to bike. Please plant more low-water shade trees along this path.

Cherry Creek Regional Trail

2nd day on this trail-

July, 2024 by barbscondo

We again parked at Village Greens Park (lots of big shade trees to keep the jeep cool) and this time headed south on the trail. It winds around the Cherry Creek Reservoir and then meanders south. Not much shade in this direction. We rode 10 miles south to Cottonwood Park and then turned around (getting hot) so a nice 20 mile round trip. There was a big prairie dog colony and a long stretch of trail with baby grasshoppers hopping all over the joint. The thing I enjoyed most about this trail is that it is NOT straight like so many-constantly twisting and curving. Made it more interesting. There are some fast food restaurants along the way at one point.

Cherry Creek Regional Trail

Wonderful fun path

July, 2024 by barbscondo

We parked at Village Greens Park which is near the Cherry Creek Reservoir. from here you could choose North or South on the trail. We rode north on the trail for 11 miles and ended up in the center of Denver at First Street. Then the trail started to run along the busy street so we turned around. It was a great 22 mile round trip ride. Quite a bit of shade/lots to look at/prairie dog colony/birds/snake on the trail/lots of parks/golf courses/nice homes/runs mostly along the creek/lots of fun underpasses by the water.

Pikes Peak Greenway Trail

Unexpectedly great trail

July, 2024 by barbscondo

We parked at America the Beautiful Park along the curb parking. From there we rode North 10 miles and then back. Great trail. Some parts are dirt but is very smooth. No problem at all. You are really along the river the whole way- always nice to see the water. There was quite a lot of shaded areas to my surprise. We went up one side of the river and returned on the other where you see on the map that it goes in both sides. There are a lot of side trails that connect with this trail. I liked it because there were other bikers and walkers. Everyone courteous. I liked it because lots of stuff to look at. Wish we here for more than a day. Would do again and explore some of the side trails.

Arkansas River Trail (Pueblo)

nice morning ride

August, 2023 by f4fskz2scf

We are passing through Colorado and we parked overnight at Lake Pueblo State Park. It was 96 when we arrived. I decided to get up early and take a ride on the river trail. I started about 6:30A. Beautiful ride. I saw 6-7 deer with one on the pathway, about 15 geese floating down river, a whitetail rabbit, and several groundhogs. The path is well kept, but more signs would be helpful. I was a bit surprised to find that the path had stop signs instead of making the automobiles yield. I rode from the Visitor Center to the Nature Center and back.

Mostly flat, interesting people, art, and in the heart of the city. Highly recommend.

Runyon Lake Trail

Easy park, lots of trash

January, 2023 by gomez.29

Loop is a easy one, the only downside was the trash piled almost everywhere.

Crews Gulch Regional Trail

First trail I've tried using the app. It was a nice ride. My trike made it through easily. Most of one way is downhill so the return was a little more tiring. Overall, pretty fun for an evening ride.
