Sawhill ponds is one of the most picturesque and pleasant walks. You have choices to do a big loop or smaller Loop and the bird life is plentiful. You will see a lot of birdwatchers. Ive seen a great horned owl flying with a snake dangling from its talons. Ive seen herons a variety of hawks and ducks. Its one pawned after another. Dogs must be on leash.
I came here for a run around 8:30AM and the parking lot was almost full - theres not a lot of parking spots though. Theres a map at the beginning of the trail, but it gets a bit confusing afterward. Its a really pretty area, and the trail is mostly a dirt path, some parts are shaded. Flat for a run which is great though!
Beautiful open space with wide variety of birds, well maintained, and easy access. There are signs posted to maintain social distancing and Boulder county requires all persons over 12 that do not have a medical condition, to wear face coverings. Be prepared for some people to disregard both of these.
Lovely little walking path and happy Boulder Co is protecting this area!
Beautiful and full of fishable lakes. I will be going back very soon
Great place for going for a walk. Always has great bird watching, also have seen turtles, deer, fish, deer, great place to view wildlife. Usually very few people there, never crowded.
Its a lovely area nd super kid friendly, my son goes on field trips to this park all the time. A lot of animals to look at and the walk is very easy todo
Wanted to swimm
Quiet
Great place to explore and find animals
Great bass fishing. Water was a little low last summer (2016) bit should be good this year. Super clear water. Huge LMB if you can get them to bite.
Nice flat hike
This place is disappointing. Every time we go there, there is less and less aquatic life. Im not blaming, and I realize it is drought conditions at work, but its really lost its appeal.
Beautiful scenery!
If you like to fish for Carp, then you need to come to this place. Sawhill Ponds is beautiful! There are a bunch of different ponds at this place.
Sawhill is one of my favorite places to hike in Boulder. I love the ponds and the quiet beauty.
Great trails to wander around a variety of ponds and associated habitats. Great bird watching birding area.
Great flat trail around multiple ponds.
One of my favorite places to visit and relax.
Beautiful spot
Wonderful place, very quiet. Very nice for a stroll with or without kids.
Birding heaven. A slice of paradise.
One of my favorite places for easy walk in the nature.
Tranquil spot with amazing views. Geese and ducks frequent the spot along with a plethora of other winged creatures drawing bird watchers from far and wide.
Quiet trail in the boulder creek floodplain. Lots of bird watching opportunities.
Easy and out of the way with some good easy fishing.
Great place to go for a walk, amongst formerly industrial ponds that are now thriving with birds & fish.
Peaceful place to be
Water levels are low and cant use natural bait but on 2 lakes, rest off limits only lures
Best kept secret in Boulder.
Beautiful & peaceful.
Hidden gem!
