It has been many years since I have travelled Sand Creek Trail and recently I have found myself…read morerediscovering it. The once hard to traverse sections that were manly a rough unnavigable mess have now been constructed with a smooth wide concrete path making the journey to/ from the Commerce City portions of the trail easy and pleasant. The Aurora sections south of MLK blvd are still a soft sand/silt combination however. I rejoice in the fact that there has been so much progress in the construction of this trail and look ever forward to it being 100% complete one day.

They ruin the ambience of the whole trail. I miss places that felt safe, id never trust my kids going through this trail alone like I could do when I was a kid which is an absolute bummer. Until it's cleaned and cleared properly I really can't recommend, the smell of human poop alone is disgusting and fowl. 2/10

We started by a nice entrance (great parking) just outside the Roosevelt National Park. Excellent place to bike, although we were on foot. We enjoyed our 3 mile hike.

Definitely would recommend getting out un the fresh Colorado air! We had perfect weather and enjoyed the creek!

It's always nice to find a hidden/unknown place that nobody has ever given it a review. I was…read morerunning a few errands in Westminster today (Sunday, May 22, 2022) and accidentally drove by it on the way to get home. I HAD to make a stop and investigate it as the Savery Savory Mushroom Water Tower, the only intact remnant of the original collection of structures didn't escape my eye/attention (how could it escape it?; it's a very tall water tower!) This was the site by a guy named Charles William Savery from Pennsylvania, who bought a 80-acre farm in what is now Westminster in 1918. Long story short, the mushroom farm which Charles built is no longer there but having one of the remnant structures, the city of Westminster built a pond in 1995. The pond, which was originally built to hold storm water, is now a habitat for many species of insects, plants, birds, fish, I mean you name it, right? The pond itself is not massive but is a good size. Once at the trailhead, you can have an extensive walk/running/bike ride as the trails are extensive (to all sorts of directions). Several parks (Foxshire Park, Valley View Park, Meadowlark Park) and Legacy Ridge Golf Course are what surround this pond. Niver Canal that runs through the area is so picturesque and you can walk/jog/run/bike along the canal if you choose. The homeowners have access to the trail(s) right from their backyard gates. Some neighbors were having an afternoon cocktail in their backyard; some were chitchatting over their property fence. It is such a beautiful area with lots of green. And the city of Westminster and the residents do well by maintaining this whole area impeccably clean and immaculate. It sure was a nice discovery!

I came yesterday for birdwatching during sunset, and it was such a good experience! We saw a variety of birds, including waterfowl, hawks, sparrows, blackbirds, and I think even saw a golden eagle. The trail is gravel and goes all the way around the lake. It's very well-maintained. There is a small boardwalk that takes you close to the water as well. This is a great place to go on a short walk with family, or you could grab a drink and come with a friend to catch up. I so many people walking their dogs, and it seemed like a good trail for pets. There are two playgrounds around the lake and a tennis court. We passed friendly folks and families. The trail has many homes nearby and is located in a residential area. I parked on the street, and one of the neighborhoods and parking was easy to find. I'll definitely come back again for some outdoor exercise!
