Pelican Pond

The Pelican Pond Trail at the north end of the park is a 1.3 mile loop around one of the largest ponds on the park.  It is a paved bird watching trail, from the graceful American White Pelicans to the Cormorants atop the driftwood, mingling with the Mallard and Goldeneye Ducks.  Flowers adorn the path and the adjoining meadows, while the St. Vrain Creek swiftly flows on the north side of the pond.  Huge cottonwoods provide shade over several benches along the way, for a cool rest on a warm day.
