Signal Ditch Trail

Nice ride through Thornton

September, 2025 by laurastark

We enjoyed the northern tip of the Signal Ditch Trail on an early September ride. It was a pleasant neighborhood setting beginning from Thornton's Fallbrook Park. The journey included views of large cottonwoods, bright sunflowers, and the Rocky Mountains in the distance.

Grange Hall Creek Trail

Scenic ride through Thornton

September, 2025 by laurastark

We biked a section of the Grange Hall Creek Trail in Thornton from Margaret Carpenter Park through the south end of Grange Creek Park and into the Riverdale Open Space. It was a really pleasant ride through a beautiful natural setting and a prairie dog habitat.

Blue River Recpath

too loud

August, 2025 by 7mhv7wpbxj

The path is well paved and smooth. It’s right next to the road the entire time, so it’s too loud.

Dillon Reservoir Recpath

views, turns and water

August, 2025 by paddlelady

We only road from the historic park in Dillon to Keystone. I must admit, my favorite section was the small portion that went to Keystone as we were further from highways, closer to the creek and in more shade. 70° in CO feels more like the 80° in TN due to altitude. Breeze off the lake was great and good views Overall, I enjoyed the trail but was amazed at the number of people in both directions. Luckily there was at least one coffee/ sandwich shop open in Keystone. Sorry we missed the bluegrass festival this past weekend.

Rainbow Trail

Great neighborhood pass through trail

July, 2025 by rbjones467

Rainbow Trail is a great stress free connector from the Arvada firefighters Park to the east rainbow park in North Arvada. Nice wide well maintained concrete trails. Mostly passes in between fences of houses on each side of the route but with ample trees. Great way to get to King Soopers (80th & Wadsworth) from the West End of Arvada.

Spring Creek Trail (CO)

Excellent ride

July, 2025 by nicholae.brown

Starting in spring canyon community park and riding towards downtown, this is a great loop and connects to other great routes. Spring creek trail is one of my favorite ft collins pathed rides. If you have a mountain bike they have a small fun park to ride some dirt hills. If you enjoy scenery, the ride takes you past several nice farms, under bridges, and by some nice lakes and streams. Several breweries along the way that are bike friendly and to fill up your canteen or jugs. Love the ride

Poudre River Trail

wonderful evening ride

July, 2025 by nicholae.brown

This trail is well paved and an excellent ride. The connection from Timnath to Windsor is not connected. Unless there’s an alt route it abruptly ends in a field. Being stubborn I powered through the field following pink land surveying markers. Since there is no bridge, I had to go down a dirt road and use a bridge to get to the other side of the water. The dirt road turns to thick, hard to ride grass, and found myself riding through an oil rig site. From there I took the dirt road to the street. The street, going left, leads to a lake and greenway, the first right you can take. There’s some construction Windsor after the park and to navigate toward Greeley you have to take some street. Unless I’m mistaken the path is not complete. As soon as it is this is a must ride! Stopped at Luna’s Tacos in Windsor and great halfway rest drink and grub spot.

Bear Creek Trail (Colorado Springs)

Pretty trail

July, 2025 by s2xc96nht8

Not too difficult, but there’s a pretty good incline hill in the middle of the route. You’re rewarded with a beautiful view of the park and surrounding Colorado Springs once you reach the top of it. Couple of intersections with creeks and a few options to swap up your route.

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.

Colorado Riverfront Trail

Good Improvements

July, 2025 by acewickwire

Well it has been 5 years since my last review and a couple years since riding the Grand Junction portion of the trail (I ride the Fruita to Loma end frequently). The city has made some great improvements. Widening the trail with new concrete, replacing the black top sections. Also have done some major clearing of brush along the trail and riverside. All making the ride even better. Stopped at the connection to Eagle Rim Park. They even now have a Zip Line from the park down to Los Colonias. Great Improvements.

Loveland Recreation Trail

Loveland recreational trail-loved it!

July, 2025 by jenkins4fun

We did 15 miles starting by the Chilson rec center and went west all the way to the end by Oxbow missing the bridge that goes under 34. We then crossed under 34 to Mehaffey Park. Had a nice picnic break there and turned back. It was a great ride.
