Bear Creek Trail Map
The Bear Creek Trail is a paved multi-use trail that runs from the South Platte River west to Bear Creek Lake Regional Park.  The trail passes through Denver and Lakewood as it winds its way through Cottonwood filled parks, including the Bear Creek Greenbelt. This trail is not to be confused with the Bear Creek Trail that connects Little Park to Pence Park in the foothills west of Morrison that is managed by Denver Mountain Parks and Jefferson County Open Space. 

The Stone House Trail is a single track natural surface trail perfect for hiking.  The trail runs parallel to the Bear Creek Trail from the Bear Creek Greenbelt (Wadsworth Blvd) to the base of the Bear Creek Lake Dam at Bear Creek Lake Regional Park.
