Lovely views, flora and fauna aplenty, and a well maintained trail on the very edge of the city.

Nice rolling hills, nice views. Bikes go through this area too quickly sometimes, and in the summer you need to watch for rattle snakes. I dont usually use this trail in the summer because of the snakes and the fact there is no shade along the trail (its a prairie). Part of a very nice urban trail system.

A touch of uniquely beautiful wilderness right out the front door for Fort Collins residents....dont miss it just because its right in front of you!

Awesome place to adventure and catch a glimpse of the beauty Colorado has to offer.

I wish I had a house that hugs this prairie but maybe one day once I start making big bucks haha. Wonderful trail that have has a lot of hills, dips and winds that make biking/journeying fun!

Watch out gor rattlesnakes in warm weather!

Beautiful place! Great trail

Its a great spot for sunsets and its got some nice trails for walking and biking. The observatory is the best spot to hang out at and takes pictures or just watch.Its got an info board about prairie dogs. There used to be a speaker box that made prairie dog calls but its been removed and now there are just some wires hanging out

Good bird watching and a beautiful place to run or bike in the evening, it gets a bit hot in the summer during the day.

Beautiful walk, nice and paved so you can enjoy without worrying about ice and snow.

Beautiful area, too bad the ridge was developed with a hideous retaining wall and oversized ugly homes. This area also needs MORE PRAIRIE DOGS!!!

All Fort Collins parks and natural areas are great.

Great trail, went to the tunnel and back for our 3mile goal. Love the rolling hills.

Great place if youre biking or walking

Cement rails for walking, running, biking. Rolling hills. Lots of rattle snakes in the summer, be ware

This is a really nice prairie area. Not as enclosed as some natural areas in Fort Collins but the wide open views are beautiful.The paths are nicely paved and wide enough for two lanes of strollers or wheelchairs.There are occasional signs with facts about the area and the wildlife found there.You can see houses or roads from the entire area but the rolling hills and sprawling prairie is beautiful and worth seeing.I really enjoyed the walk.

Glad to have such a well hidden area in such a great town. Cathry Fromme Prairie is never too crowded, bikes, joggers, walkers you will find them all enjoying their dayWhen I visit my in-laws, this is the trail I use to walk or bike. The views are breathtaking and the neighborhood homes are beautiful. It is a relatively quiet area where you can get a great workout with some hills,

Was very nice... Weather was perfect today!

This wide-open space has a nice wide bike trail that now connects on either end. The parking off Shields is easy to find and there is an earth-bermed raptor viewing building there. The bike trail now connects east to the bottom end of the Mason Trail and also goes south along Shields to the new trail to Loveland. The parking by Taft Hill is tricky. Youve got to come in off Harmony at the light.

If youre looking to take a walk in nature this is definitely the place. Ive not seen many more beautiful places than this in my life. I love going here the air is so clean and its just a very nice relaxing soothing place to be. Ill definitely be going back here as soon as it warms up of course LOL

What a great place to observe natures beauty! I biked on the wide expanse of concrete runways, I call em, because they ARE so wide. The city keeps this area up well, cutting the side grass so it doesnt overgrow the walk, and regularly grinding down concrete that has gotten ajar from earth movement.You can walk or bike, as you please . . . . I love to bike there, as Im off the roads. Ill load my bike up on the back of my car and park and one of several ingress areas, and ride for miles and miles.Last ride I burned 255 calories, as my new trip calculator told me. WOW!

Wonderful bike ride

A wonderful bike ride. Well paved almost always even path. Saw many bikes. Runners. Dogs. Etc.

Because it is near my house, this is my regular walking path. I really appreciate that the sidewalk is cleared of snow and ice promptly. There are occasional benches and trashcans along the route. Its fun to see the prairie dogs and spot various raptors on the roosting poles.

Great ride especially heading East & connection to trail South to Loveland or continue East under tunnel to teach Fossil Creek trails. So fortunate that FC supports biking

Beautiful paved trails. Wide open vistas. Restroom at beginning of trail.

Beautiful natural area with long trails! Dogs allowed on leashes, but beware of rattler snakes. Happy trails everyone!

Nice paved trails right by the hills with a great view

Well maintained trails. Moderate amount of parking. Really good for wildlife viewing such as hawks, coyotes, occasional deer. Be alert for rattlesnakes during the summer months.

Yet another beautiful place for a little stroll outside

Amazingly stunning views and a good place to just be for awhile!

When Im out on my bike it is a beautiful rollercoaster.

A nice long walk, watch out for rattle snakes, dont park on Shields, may get broken window

My sister lives close by it is very nice.

One of the best places Ive ever run and cycled.

What a nice setting - so great. I could spend weeks here checking out all the birds and wildlife. My heaven.

An enjoyable place for a walk or ride, but no shade along the path. Wear a hat and sunscreen!

Awesome trail to walk.

Great bike trails

Very nice open space minus the long drive to get there. Great for dogs!

Great ride and conects to many other trails. The tunnel under the tracks to fossil creek is open. Loveland trail and spring creek to the poudre are some options.

Great place! Nice and convenient in town trail / hiking.

Great place to walk my dog, even in winter.

A nice area to ride your bike or walk

Nice open space. Keep your eyes out for coyotes, prairie dogs, snakes, and all sorts of raptors.

I walk this area when Im visiting CO! I love no traffic!!!

Always a great place for a walk!

Beautiful views. Great for biking & walking.

Its a natural area. Nice to look at. Has a great walking/biking trail running by it.

Well maintained, easy, stroller friendly, pet friendly, wheelchair accessible. Bring water.

Very clean. Great views, solitude

Nice wide well paved paths. Covers a few miles of gentle rolling hills. If you continue on the trail to the north you can connect to the Pineridge Natural Area/Dixon Resevoir. The parking area is short on spaces however, so it’s hard to get a spot during busy times. Having multiple restrooms along the trail is nice as well.

Nice prairie/meadow area with views of Horsetooth. Paved walkways, wide enough for pedestrians and bikes. No shade, and be mindful of the wild creatures living along the foothills.

Nice even well maintained concrete trail. Beautiful views.

I dont think its safe to walk through by yourself because of all the rattlesnakes. You might even run into ceyotes but its serene nonetheless, especially during the sunset.

Beautiful place to take a midafternoon stroll peacefully well preserved

Nice walking path, watch out for snakes and make sure you dont leave valuables in your car!

I run there all the time its awesome

Beautiful open prairie. Nice paved trails.

Reminder: Bring snacks ... Not enough joggers.

Its all sun. No shade. Just saying.

Beautiful open space in Fort Collins. Nice walking path and bird viewing station

Beautiful praire open space in FoCo. Bring your bike!

Its a beautiful park with wide-open views of the rolling foothills. I really like it. The only thing that makes me nervous is the sign posted about frequent car break-ins. That makes me hesitate about visiting the park often.

I gorgeous place for a day hike, walking the dog, riding your bike. A lot of nature to be observed on the trail.

Great out door paved hiking trails. Lots of bugs so wear bug spray. No trees so very little shade and watch out for snakes

A great open space with a nice bike trail. Limited parking, though, so get there early on nice days.

Beautiful natural area with bike/walking/ jogging paths right in your backyard.

I saw many cool things there and loved the little area where you could just sit in the shade and read the carvings on the walls.

A fantastic place for walking and cycling. Wheelchair and buggy accessible as well.

Great place for hiking

Great paved trail, open to dogs on leashes. No shade though, so show up early.

Quit place to walk

Nice quite spot to view raptors, and relax watching the long grass blowing in the wind.

Beautiful undeveloped open space.

A local gem with wide concrete paved path.There is a trailhead parking lot both on the Shields side and the Taft Hill Road side. This path is soon to be connected to the path all the way over to fossil creek.Be snake awake!

Nice and peaceful with paved trails, but make sure you leave valuables at home or at least lock them in the trunk as break ins are common.

I love this place peaceful beautiful and great hiking not to hard beat for beginners

Beatiful place thats great for running, taking a walk with your dogs, or having a leisurely bike ride

Very well maintained trails, with good mountain views and opportunities for wildlife sightings.

Exceptional, beautiful hiking/biking/running trail. So beautiful and kept up!

Absolutely beautiful place for a bike a run or a walk.

Amazing

Lovely park. Too bad there is no loop path.

I like.taking my dig for a walk here

Super beautiful. Great to lounge in awe of nature here.

Great place for a walk.

Paved trails through prairie. Nice viewsGreat place to run, walk the dog, or ride.

Nice place to enjoy open space.

Great trail!

Great place to view birds of prey.

Beautiful and a great place to ride your bike.

Lovely place. Very open and peaceful.

Really pretty.

Very peaceful, some locals are very snobby like they own the free space

Great place for walking, biking, and skateboarding.

Nice view, but you can hear the cars behind you really loudly so it isnt the quietest place. We also saw a rattlesnake about 10 feet off the trail so be careful.

Love this drive, stunning views,with amazing roads

My favorite walk, next to the house and vet well maintained

Went for a bike ride through the area. Nice views.
