This ~1.5 mile loop is a paved trail surrounding Blue Heron Reservoir, the largest body of water at the park. Enjoy open spaces and incredible views of Long’s Peak. You won’t want to miss seeing a breath-taking sunset from the trail. The trail also provides shore access for fishermen trying to land a bass, catfish, walleye, crappie, sunfish or bluegill.  Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the different avian species that use Blue Heron Reservoir as a stop over on migratory flights or call it home year-round. Take the first right past the self-serve kiosk at the park entrance to access ​the trail.
