Location: near Denver, Colorado

Size: very large

Quality: high – this park seems well maintained in a safe area

Ease of Access: easy – the main parking lot is right off a main road and easy to find

Features: 1 parking lot, porta potties, trash, 1 creek, 1 pond with no easy water access (water quality low), many miles of hiking paths, little shade, low traffic, difficult terrain

Cost: free

Notes: this is a fun place to hike with some excellent views of the mountains and city of Denver. This is not technically an off-leash park, however the side trails are very low traffic. The trails are fairly difficult terrain and require some level of fitness to hike (except the main path which is easier).

Recommended: yes – there are plenty of opportunities to let your dog run free without disturbing other hikers, however, you will most likely have to leash-and-unleash occasionally.
