Clear Creek Trail Map
The Clear Creek Trail is a paved multi-use trail that begins at the South Platte River and heads west to Golden.  The trail was recently designated as a National Recreation Trail and caters to bikers and hikers alike.  While the trail is paved, there are numerous natural surface side and social trails that allow for pleasant hiking routes.  

The Wheat Ridge Greenbelt is a segment of the Clear Creek Trail that starts at the boundary for the City of Wheat Ridge (Sheridan Blvd).  The Greenbelt connects several city parks and provides a continuous scenic corridor making it perfect for public use and exploration.
