Platte River Trail

Just one of Denver's superb multi-use trails, this one stretches for 28.5 miles through Denver's urban landscape - including its industrial face - and incorporates high plains grassland landscapes with the Rockies as a backdrop.

Such a nice trail ! Head on the cherry creek trail for a beautiful peaceful ride that is less crowded . Also hanging out across from the amusement park is hilarious to hear all the screaming.

Great bike trail that connects to the Cherry Creek Trail and RiNO district.

Bike Speak: Once you get closer to Wadsworth, the trail really opens up and you can let 'er rip. You have to watch for bumps and glass close to Federal. Still, great trail for my commute! - Adam Kremers
