Clear Creek Trail in the Heart of Downtown Golden. 

The walking path in the heart of Golden runs along Clear Creek and is popular year-round with bikers, walkers, fishing and floating. We love the option to enjoy a walk along the river and the playground is a great starting or ending point with kids too. The trail runs for 19 miles but the portion in town is approximately 2 miles offering plenty of space for a stroller/family-friendly stroll. 

Parfet Park playground is also on the trail and it's a great option as an add-on or a standalone activity.  There are plenty of places to enjoy the river and bring a picnic or head into town for a family-friendly brewery experience.
