Trail Descriptions and Videos

Below you will find a list of Broomfield trails with their descriptions and videos showing the trail.

The Broomfield Trail

Broomfield Trail Video: The Broomfield Trail will one day span almost 20 miles across the community, navigating from the Great Western Open Space at the southwest corner of the city, through the center of Broomfield, all the way to the northeast corner of Broomfield. Some significant sections of the trail are already in place, including scenic trails that pass through Interlocken, Lilac Park, Wildgrass, and Anthem. The trail features the newly completed Shep's Lateral Crossing, which bridges over the railroad tracks and provides a key Highline connection near Highway-36 and Interlocken.

Lake Link Trail

Lake Link Trail Video: The mostly soft-surface Lake Link Trail connects key water features across Broomfield and covers approx. 11 miles from the Lac Amora Open Space on the west side, to McKay Lake on the east edge of the community. The popular Lac Amora and Ridgeview trail sections offer spectacular views of the Front Range mountain backdrop in several locations.

Southwest Community Loop Trail

Southwest Community Loop Trail Video: This trail connects many original neighborhoods near the Broomfield Town Square area to the southwestern edge of the city and to newer neighborhoods to the north. The trail will also provide a direct connection to commercial areas and City services, as new sections are completed in the coming years.

Big Dry Creek Trail

This regional trail extends from Standley Lake along the south and west edges of Broomfield beyond Interstate-25, to the east. The trail is now concrete, but with a soft-surface strip, and connects to Broomfield in several locations including the Metzger Farm Open Space and the Willow Run Open Space.

Rock Creek and Coal Creek Trails

These regional trails pass to the north and west of Broomfield and connect to many additional trails through Broomfield and Boulder County. The trails are primarily soft-surface and follow the meandering creeks as they pass through several farms and open space areas. These trails can be reached from the Lac Amora Open Space near Josh’s Pond, the Ruth Roberts Connector Trail next to Highway 287, or the Anthem Ranch Open Space at Broomfield’s western boundary.

U.S. 36 Bikeway

U.S. 36 Bikeway Trail Video: The bikeway is a multi-use concrete path that provides a seamless connection through Broomfield adjacent to the US-36 Highway. Ultimately, the bikeway provides a trail connection from downtown Denver to downtown Boulder, with the use of other trail connections.
