In May, Boulder County, the City of Lafayette and the Town of Erie opened an additional 2.4 miles of the Coal Creek Trail. This is a partial opening of the trail; the remainder is expected to open later this summer.
The new, open portion of trail starts at the current terminus of the Rock Creek Regional Trail near 120th Street in Lafayette and ends approximately one half-mile north of the trail underpass at Hwy 7. The section north of this point will remain closed due to ongoing construction and visitors must turn around on the trail.
This section of the trail will be open to pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians. Equestrian use is limited to the section south of Hwy 7. For more information, please call 303-441-3900 or visit the Boulder County Transportation Department.
