Great birding and fun for a walk. Water is really low so please crimp your barbs and release any fish you catch quickly. And pick up your bloody line, that stuff does not decompose!

This is a gorgeous walk around little lakes. Beautiful mountain views and wildflowers all over the place. The loops we took added up to be a little over 5 miles, though depending on which trails you take, you could make it longer or shorter. There were a ton of people fishing around the lakes as well. The only downfall was that several areas along the trails are infested with TONS of mosquitoes! Its half-mile stretches at a time along the trails between trees that are just awful to walk through... and even jogging through them to get out faster, you still get eaten alive. Need some heavy, heavy deet bugspray here.. or long sleeves, long pants, a hood.. anything to cover your skin up!

Nice area for a peaceful walk around Boulder. A good place for bird watching as well. Can make a good running trail including the nearby Walden ponds also.

One of the last great spots in Boulder that doesnt get too crowded. Youll have to find the right ponds for yourself, but there are some decent bass here. If fishing isnt your thing, its a peaceful and quiet place to walk and gather thoughts. Great views away from the city, and parking is simple. Another bonus is that its right next to Walden ponds, so you could walk or fish both areas. Make sure to keep the area clean, and catch and release so we can keep these fish growing.

Good place to take a hike or walk the dog. If youre looking to fish I recommendfinding another lake. Catch and release and artificial lures only, not for real outdoorsman.

Its a park in East Boulder. The trails are flat and well marked. Great place for bird watching, running, or walking. There is a bathroom (outhouse) facility and plenty of parking on site.

Had a good time getting to the lake. Took my bike to cut down on the walking. Make sure to bring your fishing licence tho cause the lakes are constantly patrolled by the fish and game.

Great local trailhead and fishing hole. I have caught a number of Bass, dozens of bluegill, and a Crappie so far. Artificial lures and flies only, catch and release.Practice good ethics and the fish get bigger and stay bigger.
