Boulder Creek Path

Cement Path Through the Heart of Boulder

Description

Winding along Boulder Creek, through the heart of the city, this paved path takes walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and inline skaters from Eben G. Fine Park in the west to Foothills in the east, and all points between. The trail meanders from sunny open stretches to shady treeline refuges. It borders the Kids Fishing Ponds near 6th St, passes the library near Broadway, and just before you reach 13th St, where you'll find a semiweekly Farmers' market, dips under Araphahoe and continues along its southern edge. From there, the trail clings to the northern edge of CU (you'll find lots of students on this stretch), passes just south of Naropa, south of Scott Carpenter Park, and continues east through downtown, until it meets up with another series of trails near Foothills. There are entry and exit points all along the way, making it a popular path for bike commuters. You'll also find plenty of benches and tables along the way for those just looking for a pleasant place to spend an afternoon.
