Huge area. Craig and Christian had awesome reviews from a biking perspective…read more I mostly walk this with dogs nearest to Ralston Road in Arvada. Some nearby water. Shade. You'll walk adjacent to a number of homes, park, and schools. Frequent trash cans and exits to enter the neighborhoods. Wasn't seeing any trash which is a plus. Just one of the many open space/walking/biking trails you'll see throughout Colorado. Occasionally you'll see some locks signage explaining which part of the trail you are on. Think historic setting and whatnot but otherwise it's a walking, exercise, skating trail like anywhere else within the state. You could have a good time riding the entire trail or adding sections into your regular workout route. Well paved and maintained as I mentioned before regarding trash cans and dog poop bag stations throughout. One reviewer mentioned noise but maybe they have the incorrect Yelp listing? Or their closest part of the trail to close to a loud highway. My only advice is to wear sunscreen. Vitamin C told me that once.

Enjoyed a solid morning ride of about 18 miles (9 miles out and 9 miles back). The trail actually…read moreruns a few miles further. I started at the Gold Strike Park in Arvada and there was parking as well as a connection to the Clear Creek Trail. This trail is paved and runs through number of parks in Arvada/Wheat Ridge. There is a gentle, almost subtle incline as you ride west. The creek of course is flowing downward in the opposite direction. I had no trouble using the big chain ring on my road bike and the return ride was a snap, with its gentle decline. The trail is mostly well marked and zigs and zags across the river. There is pedestrian traffic and not too many long straight stretches, so your top speed is limited. The trail runs on a few residential streets here and there. If you lose the trail, just keep going in the same direction and you'll pick it up shortly. Overall it's a fun, pleasant ride that I highly recommend. Suitable for families (although I'd start at one of the municipal parks that it intersects for the playground) and also for walking your dog. My total altitude gain over the nine miles up was only 410 feet, according to my Garmin. There are a few porta-potties along the way. A few water fountains too, at the park areas. This trail is perfect for an easy Saturday morning ride!

This was a nice mile or so long loop around a small lake. There were plenty of people, but not too many, and their dogs walking. We saw several different species of birds and even 2 coyotes doing a little morning hunting in the tall grass. They didn't bother us and we didn't bother them! We will come back here. Nice paved areas and smaller trails off of the main trail to follow. Free parking in a few spots. Update: I came here by myself yesterday for a run. Racking up mileage is easy here because there are so many sub-trails around the lake itself. Also very easy to get some easy hill action built in...just enough to get your heart rate up!

Only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because the bathroom was far from where we were fishing at. So it was hard to leave kids alone to go to use restroom. We ended up packing everything up and going across street to Target to use restroom instead.
