Family Friendly An easy ride that is easily accessible in town.

At this time, no access is allowed into the actual reservoir (stay on the path).

Description

A gravel track that leads to some pavement on Arapaho Bend Paved Path form an easy loop around this new reservoir (the reservoir is not visible in some older satellite images). There are the remains of a historic old cabin (Strauss Cabin) that can be viewed just off the trail on the east side. You can connect to other trails from the parking area at Arapahoe Bends Natural Area for a casual, easy ride with good wildlife viewing opportunities.
