Good for people on bikes...use with caution if taking a stroll. Lovely path through town and into the mountains, but cyclists rule and move through like lightening. Nice stops along the way for reading and relaxing along the river....lots of vegetation and shade.

This path is very nice, although it is crowded. It runs along the Boulder Creek and also goes up into the canyon. Often there are lots of bikers on it, so you have to be alert to make sure that you don't get in their way. Although it goes under several major roads, it is still a fairly secluded path.

Love this trail. Follows the creek along an easy and comfortable trail. Stop at the Library for a visit. Or, visit Pearl Street and get back on the trail.

It's hard to pull yourself out of the mountains to take a walk in Boulder's long, linear park, but if you are interested in a city making great use of natural features, then take a walk on the Boulder Creek Path. There is a trout fishing training pond for kids under 13!

I road this path on a beach cruiser that I got free with my hotel rental. It had scenery, easy grade, great network for joggers, bikers, etc... very well laid out and nicely marked with appropriate designated "lanes." This path along with all the others in and out of the city solidifies Boulder as one of the best bike towns.

Some parts of the path are nicer than others. There is a stream observatory near the Millenium Hotel that is filthy...glass needs to be cleaned. It was impossible to observe anything.

Very family friendly short hike with nice views of canyon and city. Kids can scamper up the rocks along the way. I'd recommend!

Recently stayed four nights at the Harvest House in Boulder, which is adjacent to the BCP on 28th, so I was able to get three great morning runs in during my stay. The first morning I was out early, around 5:30 am, so it was dark. Headed west up the path towards the foothills, until I was surrounded by the... More

I like to visit Boulder in the winter time and the Creek path is the best place if you want to walk and enjoy the magic Path.
