Are you or someone in your crew curious about open spaces where you can roll while you stroll? Whether you need a trail to accommodate a wheelchair, stroller, or other mobility aid, Boulder County Parks & Open Space has several properties that might fit your needs. These trails do not necessarily meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements but are \u201cwheelchair friendly,\u201d meaning they are made of a firm surface, have no steps, and are fairly wide. They are appropriate for some chairs and other mobility devices but may not suit others.<\/p>\n

Pella Crossing<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Located just west of Longmont on 75th Street in Hygiene, Pella Crossing offers a getaway close to town. There are approximately three miles of wide crusher fine trails around several picturesque ponds. It\u2019s a great place to take in views of the mountains, watch birds, and walk your pup. A small picnic shelter is located near the parking lot, and benches are scattered throughout the property.<\/p>\n

Lagerman Agricultural Preserve<\/h2>\n

Just south of Pella Crossing on 75th is Lagerman Agricultural Preserve. The reservoir here provides excellent habitat for water and shore birds. There is a 1.6-mile loop around the reservoir (the western portion of the trail is closed for bird nesting from April 1-Aug. 31). Or if you are looking for a longer adventure with excellent views, check out the Open Sky Loop. It is a 4.9- mile trek through active agriculture with great mountain views. Be mindful of lack of shade in this agricultural land, and plan your trips accordingly.<\/p>\n

Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm<\/h2>\n

\"Trail<\/a><\/p>\n

Carolyn Holmberg Preserve is another spot where active agriculture and rollable trails co-exist. Located near the intersection of 104th and Dillion Rd., this property provides a nature escape amid several communities. The Rock Creek Regional Trail passes through this property, and it is frequently used by bicycle commuters. An eagle nest visible from the trail causes a seasonal reroute of a portion of the trail down 104th. Stern\u2019s Lake is home to a variety of birds as well as mink and other wildlife.<\/p>\n

Twin Lakes<\/h2>\n

Looking for a place you can roll, stroll, and take your dog for an outing? Twin Lakes may be your perfect spot. As the name indicates, there are two lakes on this property. Each has a 0.7-mile trail around its border. The east lake is fenced in and is an off-leash dog park. The west lake is dog friendly, but your pup needs to stay on lead until you enter the fenced area on the east side. Snapping turtles are often spotted sunning themselves along both ponds. You may even spot the turtle gates in the fence around the dog park, designed to let these critters cross between the two habitats. Please note, there is no formal trailhead parking or restroom at Twin Lakes. Visitors parallel park along Nautilus Drive, but there are curb cuts to access the trail.<\/p>\n

Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat<\/h2>\n

Near Twin Lakes, Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat offers about three miles of wide crusher fine trails that meander around ponds and through wetland habitats. The first pond, Wally Toevs, has an accessible fishing pier, and is exclusively open to 65+, people with disabilities, and youth under 15 who visit with them. Walden is a favorite birding spot. When you visit, be sure to check out the bird house at the main trailhead, where you can read the bird log and borrow binoculars and bird guides to use during your outing.<\/p>\n

Flagg Park<\/h2>\n

The Flagg Park trailhead in Lafayette provides access to the Coal Creek Trail and Rock Creek Trail and is part of the Two Creeks Open Space. As you leave the parking lot and head toward the regional trails, you quickly cross the creek and come to a shaded picnic table. This could be your final destination, or you might decide to venture on either of the regional trails. These trails run for more than 10 miles, so you can explore to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

Picnic and Park Shelters<\/h2>\n

\"Wally<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps you would like a spot to get away from it all, but you\u2019re not feeling like a hike. If so, then consider visiting a park shelter to enjoy a shady picnic, the views, and the sounds of nature. Pella Crossing, Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm, and Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat all have shelters. They are excellent locations for either a base camp for your group or a complete outing in and of themselves.<\/p>\n

For more information and to see other picnic shelters to visit the Picnic and Park Shelters page<\/a>. Please note, shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some shelters are available to reserve in advance; for $35 you can reserve the shelter for as long as you want that day from sunrise to sunset. Please make your reservation at least two weeks in advance.<\/p>\n

Wherever you decide to venture, visit the Parks and Trails page<\/a> to learn more about each trail before visiting. This rich resource has photos of parking, restrooms, and the trails. It also has information on the busiest days and times to help you plan your trip. Some parks even have live webcams at the parking lot so you can see how crowded things are before you leave home. A final note to ensure your best possible adventure, trail conditions vary widely depending on weather and time of year. Be sure to check weather conditions and plan accordingly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
