Trails
With over 150 miles of multi-use trails within Westminster, there's no shortage of outdoor opportunities. There are 50 individual trails within the system, composed of concrete, gravel, natural, and multi-surface materials. There are five regional trails, which are great for commuting and recreational use:
- Big Dry Creek Trail (Westminster's National Recreation Trail)
- Farmers' High Line Canal Trail
- Little Dry Creek Trail
- Rocky Mountain Greenway Trail
- U.S. 36 Bikeway.
These trails have been established along ditches and canals that were preserved as wildlife corridors. They also provide access for trail users to observe a little bit of peace and serenity in an ever-growing metropolitan area.
With an increase in population, the trails will see increased traffic. Make sure you know how to share the trails by following our Trail Etiquette Guide (PDF)
