Clear Creek Trail Map


Directions:  Anderson Park is locate off of 44th Ave in Wheat Ridge in between Wadsworth and Kipling Street.  After entering the park, turn left into the first parking lot and park at the end of the lot.  The trail starts off near the ball field and hooks up with the Clear Creek Trail.  

The Clear Creek Trail stretches across the entirety of the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt.  The section between Anderson Park and Kipling Street is especially nice.  The trail is paved and well maintained making it a wonderful option for hiking and walking in the late winter/early spring when the foothills are experiencing the mud season.  There are some unpaved social/natural surface trails that branch off from the paved trail and lead down to the creek shores.  These trails make the entire section feel more like a natural open space than an urban trail. 

This small segment of the Clear Creek Trail is great if you are looking for a quick outing to stretch you legs and reduce your stress by walking along a rolling creek.  The Clear Creek Trail extends all the way to Golden and there are many opportunities for longer adventures in the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt and beyond, such as the hike around West and Bass Lakes.
