During the summer you can stop for a dip at the Rock Canyon Swim Beach. Walk along a pontoon and slide into the water to cool off.

The Arkansas River Trail passes right next to its namesake here, with a clearing to stop and admire the view or have a well earned pitstop.

The dam was constructed between 1970 and 1975 to create more accessible water for the town of Pueblo. There is no swimming in the reservoir, but you can fish and the trail system around the shoreline is quite extensive. Here the Colorado Front Range Trail turns south towards the South Marina.

The multi-use path is eight miles (one way) of paved concrete and leads all the way from Runyon Lake in downtown Pueblo to Pueblo Reservoir. There are a number of other branching paths you can explore along the river, some of which are dirt and some of which are paved.

The quarry is sometimes filled with water and makes for a great scenic landmark. Between the Arkansas River, West Pueblo Ditch, Valco Ponds, and Blue Ribbon Creek, you run past a nice pattern of waterways.

This is a fantastic trail if you are looking for a long, peaceful run. The loop north of the junction is infrequently trafficked but has fantastic views of the reservoir and the canyon formations. The western trail is a faster singletrack that heads straight for the northern shore, while the eastern trail winds through the canyons along the edge of the reservoir.

As you run out to the point you get fantastic views of all the rock formations in the canyons, and from the end the sweeping spectacle across the reservoir is serene. You can easily make it down to the water where the sun dances across the surface.

The trail climbs up from the Boggs Creek inlet to crest a section of canyon where you get fantastic views. The trail is rocky and has low brush at times. Keep an ear out for mountain bikers while you enjoy the winding trail along the dry creekbed.
