On Two Feet

[Run] Croke Canal Trail

The Croke Canal Trail follows the Croke Canal through several neighborhoods in Arvada, Colorado. The trail is 3.8 miles one way; making it 7.6 miles out-and-back. 

The trail is more like a neighborhood “secret” with very little signage – you literally just follow the dirt path along the canal. I loved this! Do this trail if you are looking for a flat, dirt trail and something off the beaten path!

I added a couple more miles covering part of Stanley Lake on its southside with awesome views on the lake and mountains in the background!  FYI – there is a port-a-potty at the Stanley Lake Trailhead off of 86th Pkwy that I used.
