With and estimated total of 15 miles of trails we have something for everyone to enjoy! (For summer use only).
Grand Lake Metropolitan Recreation District has developed scenic mountain biking and hiking trails on the recreation district land. There are a variety of distances and difficulty levels, from short loops to a 6-mile round-trip hike/bike, many dog-friendly options, and a picnic area overlooking a beautiful wetland.
Hikers: Wander through forested land or venture down to the North Fork of the Colorado River. The Colorado River Trail is the main trail on our system with several small connecting trails (the Colorado River Trail is 5.2 miles round-trip).
Bikers: Ride the single track trails through fun and exciting terrain, with vistas of the three lakes, Colorado River, and wetlands with wild flowers.
We have wildlife - Beware of wildlife.
Trailhead/Parking:
Take U.S. Hwy 34 North toward Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake. Go past the entrance to the town of Grand Lake, approx. 1/4 mile, turn

Biking & Hiking Trail Update for 2010:
All of the trails are in excellent condition this summer. The new bridges are in place that cross the Colorado River and the Red Top Valley ditch on District land to provide more skiing, hiking and biking trails. The bridges are for non-motorized activities and give us two more kilometers for winter and summer. We will continue to improve the trail system in the next few months, and will be adding additional picnic areas.
