Fenced private land blocks the historic east end of the Squirrel Creek Trail, but it is very easy to link up with the Carhart Trail in Pueblo Mountain Park for the "new" eastern trailhead. Access to Squirrel Creek trail at the top is still open from the Davenport Campground.

Trail was machine-reconstructed in summer 2022 and is now a smooth wide ATV trail. You can absolutely RIP downhill on this now.

Creek crossings are all passable in the saddle and no wash outs. Great shade.

Beautiful but frustrating. The huge amount of creek crossings that are not rideable make this less enjoyable. The trail needs work and/or bridges. 9mi — 2h 30m

The copious spring and summer rains have eroded this trail to the point where it needs reconstruction. The creek crossings are DEEP and not rideable. — 2h 00m
