Cherry Creek State Park Trail

Creek or paddle along for a while and then join you under tall cottonwoods for a rest and a shady respite from the hot Colorado sun. The only requirement for enjoying this off-leash canine paradise is that your dog must be voice or sight trained. The off-leash area stretches for more than a mile as it runs south along Cherry Creek, which flows slowly here and has a broad, rock-free, sandy bottom. Dogs seem to know they are in heaven and behave accordingly. Owners who might be less active than their pets can sit at one of two benches strategically placed in the shade of cottonwoods. While not watching Rover, you can savor the fine vistas of the Front Range.
