Haskell Pond is a large freshwater lake just west of Red Rocks. There is a network of hiking, trail running, and mountain biking trails around the pond as well as an old public road that once gave access to this city reservoir. As you hike, be on the lookout for bird and other animals, as well as rock climbers working on boulder "problems" (shorter routes on boulders where you do not need ropes, only thick pads below) in the woods surrounding the pond. You can access the trails and old roads around Haskell Pond from the east through Red Rocks or from the north from Essex Ave and Forest Lane.
