Boulder Creek Path050

The Boulder Creek Path is a paved path, free of motorized vehicles, brings walkers, bikers, and inline skaters from the eastern edge of Boulder proper to the mountains. Winding along Boulder Creek, the trail accesses shady, grassy picnic areas and trout ponds. Eventually the pathway meanders through a large park and playground, perfect for kids and dogs.

On the trail's western fringe, just before it wanders into the foothills, kayakers and inner-tubers can negotiate a series of small waterfalls near Eben G. Fine Park.

A section of the path is just a few blocks west of the Pearl Street Mall, and makes for an easy diversion from shopping and a refreshing side trip into nature.
