Barr Lake
Situated in the plains northeast of Denver, Barr Lake offers an interesting oasis for people and wildlife alike. With its 1,900-acre surface area when full, the lake serves as a stopover for a variety of migratory birds. It is also home to some interesting species of mammals, and in recent years the lake has served as one of a few known bald eagle nesting sites along the Front Range region of Colorado. This hike follows a 9-mile trail that circles the entire lake.
