The segment of the Clear Creek Trail from Prospect Park to West Lake is short but especially scenic.  The best part of this segment is that there is good single track trail that follows close to Clear Creek for almost the entirety of loop.  

From the Prospect Park parking lot, follow the paved CCT east to the foot bridge and cross Clear Creek to the southern trail.  Turn left (west) and almost immediately pick up the narrow single track hiking trail that breaks off from the main trail.  The trail will enter the forest and hug the banks of Clear Creek all the way to Bass Lake.  At Bass Lake turn right, west, and follow the lake shore to West Lake.  For an especially scenic, easy loop, check out the West and Bass Lake Loop.

At the eastern end of West Lake, cross over Clear Creek on another footbridge that leads you to Tabor Lake.  On the opposite side of the paved CCT you can pick up another single track hiking trail that leads away from the paved trail down to Clear Creek.  Depending on the water levels, there are some interesting rock formations lining the creek bed that you can explore in this area.  Follow the trail west along the creek until it re-joins the Paved Trail at Prospect Park.
