cool trail in the city, great for a run a bike ride
This 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!!!

Good for a long easy run. Smooth hard surface and little traffic.
It’s was such a beautiful walk. There was a little bit of snow but it just made it a beautiful walk.

Cold with lots of snow on the ground. Saw Canada geese, cackling geese, widgeon, mallard, belted kingfisher, and song sparrow.
Great trail for long boarding! Smooth the whole way and it’s got a few neat things to see along the way.
can anyone tell me if this trail is good for horseback riding
Whoa, what a find. Lovely morning ride, the trail has a little bit of everything—wooded river bottom, urban detour, farmland, open fields— and cap it off with a lunch at Vern’s before heading back! Highly recommend for great leisurely ride.
Nice run.
Is a great ride by bike! Peaceful, quiet, you pass occasional riders or walkers but is not usually too congested. Has a few places to pull over by the river and sit and relax. Is well maintained. A huge plus to this trail is it runs right by some of Fort Collins best Breweries which make for some great pit stops! Love this trail!
This was a great trail for a toddler and dog. The whole family had fun and there were a few spots to stop and enjoy the Poudre.
Great
Beautifully maintained trail along the river. Highly used so lots of cyclists and runners and people with dogs.

Beautiful! Easy ride. Great for all ages. Walk, run or bike. It's one of my favorite trails.
Great local trail. The trail is mainly flat, well maintained, and heavily used. Follow the trail west to an awesome bridge, pine trees, and the cool little towns of laporte and bellview. Follow the trail east to some nice parks and huge cottonwood trees. This trail is great for walking, biking, commuting, fishing, and enjoying. Check it out in the spring during peak run off. The poudre river often overtakes the trail in some spots. It is a sigh to see. I have probably done this trail 100 times. I have never gotten sick of it, and I always find ways to appreciate its usefulness and beauty. If your in Fort Collins, this trail is a must see
Good for a walk.

Hiked the 4 mile section from Butterfly Woods to College (287) and back. A good walk, but nothing to write home about. Definitely a good candidate for a quick jog, bike ride, or short escape on a work day.
This trail is great for a relaxing hike or bike ride that can take you from Fort Collins to Greeley. It's all paved and a smooth ride on the flat plains of Colorado.
Great!
Awesome trail! It rides along the poudre river and its got some beautiful scenery... Especially at sunset!
