ボルダー郡の湖・トップ20

always fun and beautiful

Golden Ponds are three beautiful ponds along the Lykins Gulch Greenway. There is a boardwalk that takes you out towards the center of the main pond, so that you can take in the surrounding scenery.

… best when the park is closed and you can only hike here …

The trail around the ponds is a paved bike path with a flat packed gravel side. The ponds are beautiful, especially at dawn and sunset, and there is a parking lot with restrooms on the northeast side.

Brainard Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness below the Continental Divide surrounded by subalpine forest. It is in the Brainard Lake Recreation Area, which during the summer season usually requires a reservation and a fee, but if you are on your bike you do not need to pay or reserve a time slot. Because of the area's high elevation, snow typically remains until late spring, even on the paved road to the lake.

Cradleboard Trail is a short trail in Carolyn Holmberg Preserve in western Broomfield. It leads from the parking lot at South Brainard Drive to Stearns Lake and is a nice trail to view wildlife like prairie dogs and eagles.

This area provides a tranquil atmosphere in the midst of the city, featuring several bodies of water and creeks. With stunning views of the Front Range, it's a place to keep an eye out for wildlife, given the variety that may inhabit the area.
