January 7, 2021Great trail to walk or bike!
November 28, 2020Thanks giving ride.. a bit crowded
November 27, 2020A long trail you can get your thoughts lost on, the changing scenery makes it a constantly scenic walk and having the option to go see the river close up makes this a well rounded trip worth going back to.
November 7, 2020Saturday afternoon. Very busy. Too many cyclists on the main train :-(
October 18, 2020Love the Poudre valley trails. This one is easier. It’s peaceful, areas to sit and picnic near the river, good for families. Dog loved getting into the water.

August 29, 2020This is a great paved trail! Easy with family and friends. Well used.
August 27, 2020Great easy paved trail with many off-shoot dirt paths down to the river. Quite a few bugs this time of year but not terrible.
August 12, 2020August 5, 2020July 18, 2020Start early so the heat and the traffic are low
July 17, 2020This is a must if you’re in Fort Collins just bc it’s so integral to the town! It’s quite clean and well-paved. There are provided poop bags for dogs, lots of bikes and amazing access to a gorgeous, clear, cold river! Can be heavily trafficked. A really special place in Fort Collins to from residential area and old town to a bit of natural paradise.
July 12, 2020Clean without too much traffic. Great for families and stroller friendly. Bikes comes fast at times, so mind your kids on paved paths. Lots of breathtaking views.
July 11, 2020Lovely, some spots not really near the river
July 6, 2020Walked from the trail head for 2 miles and turned around. Nice shade areas along the trail, all paved, dirt paths to get to the river if wanted. A bit noisy at times due to traffic. Very well maintained. Great for dog walks, biking and running.
June 15, 2020Its a nice trail , but I reccomend it more for bikes. Nice views of the river, but alot of mosquitoes.
June 15, 2020Enjoyed the trail, nice views. The running river next to us was nice. Only problem was the amount of mosquitoes. Next time I may wait till later in the day before starting out. We got eaten alive.
June 11, 2020Fantastic, beautiful trail!
June 10, 2020Our favorite place to bike!

June 1, 2020May 17, 2020Beautiful and very well maintained paved path with plenty of room for passing bikers. There are also plenty of side trials through the wetlands near the Greeley side of the trail.
March 10, 2020a nice bit of nature in the suburbs, however much of the trail is closed currently

August 27, 2019July 18, 2019This is a gorgeous bike path. Long, winding, with some shade, some open sun, and lovely views and wildlife! Flat and easy, so great for all levels. Tons of access points, smooth well maintained pavement, scenic and wonderful! Fort Collins has some of the most functional bike paths I’ve seen in a small city!!!
April 25, 2019Good for a long easy run. Smooth hard surface and little traffic.
March 16, 2019It’s was such a beautiful walk. There was a little bit of snow but it just made it a beautiful walk.
