Directions: The trailhead for this section of the Clear Creek Trail is on Lowell Blvd, south of where I-76 crosses over. There is a large parking area on the east side of Lowell and a smaller parking area for the Lowell Ponds State Wildlife Area on the west side of the street. Park at the SWA and pick up the trail from the parking lot.
This segment of the Clear Creek Trail starts at the Lowell Ponds State Wildlife Area. The trail does not access the main portion of the SWA but a primitive trail around one of the ponds is an option near the trailhead. After leaving the ponds, heading west, the trail goes through a scenic wooded area before paralleling Clear Creek until it reaches Sheridan Blvd.
