The city’s paved-trails page is a practical place to start when choosing a walk or bike ride. Spring Creek Trail links Spring Canyon Community Park with the Poudre River area east of Timberline Road. You can use part of the route rather than treating the full trail as the goal.
For a river-focused outing near Old Town, look at the official Poudre River Whitewater Park page. Choose the park as a destination for a walk and a look at the river, then use the city’s natural-area visitor information to check trail maps, access and current notices for any additional stops.
Decide on a turnaround point before leaving, especially if you are taking children or combining the outing with another activity. Follow current signs and trail guidance, and use the official park information when planning any activity beyond walking or riding.
