Some trails are rougher than others, but you can usually tell when you are turning onto a rough singletrack path versus a smoother gravel path.

There is a cool view of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir Spillway from here on East Hess Road. There is a nice-sized shoulder on both sides of the roadway.

This short, paved trail is wheelchair accessible and provides a vantage point to watch boats, appreciate the mountain views, or spectate the dog park! In the summer/spring bugs can be absurdly bad along the path, but the beauty kinda makes up for it. At the area closest to the parking lot, there are picnic tables and a shelter.

Great segment of trail to look for waterfowl while walking between Cigar Pond and the South Platte River.
