Nice natural area, not a bunch of shade though. Short distance from downtown Fort Collins and about 20-30 minutes from Loveland, Colorado. Great for bird watching and catching a tan. Plenty of parking and only about five minutes away from a dozen breweries.

My mom and I love to frequent this natural area and explore the different walking paths!

Great trail run. Lots of bird life n other fauna.

I come here to watch the fish in the morning and its just a nice spot to find my energy for the day.

Great place to take the GF and dog to go hiking or even the whole family. Easy trails and awesome scenery.

This is a very pretty hiking trail its worth the walk.

Nice and close but only a few signs of civilization.

Easy to use pit toilet . Except in the evening rush hour east bound. Otherwise, if youre in a hurry and need the loo, give it a try. Its a modern, well designed and maintained facility.

Good hiking/walking, birding, some deer, etc. Nice trails, some cement. Many Ponds.

Very nice park

Gorgeous natural area, quieter and less developed than most. Really good for birding year-round and some of the top rarities in the county have been found here. The habitat is mostly wetland with open grassland ringed with trees, so be prepared for lots of sun and wind. No bikes or dogs allowed, so Im not sure why so many people are writing that its a great place to take them. There is another natural area across the street that allows them though.

We like this natural area because it is small and close to prospect so it is easy to access. Not the fanciest or best nature area in Fort Collins but it definitely will do!

Hardly anyone there. Be careful going at midday in the summer, little shade on trails

Nice clean restroom available cute little fishing pond and nice trails! Kudos foco Colorado can learn a lot from you!!!

Former gravel mine that is now the Citys. Many trails along the river. Facilities w/o water located at the parking lot. Be way cooler if it had bike trails. Make America singletrack.

Not what we expected. My hunny and I were hoping for a nice walk but it really wasnt a pretty spot. With the traffic from prospect and the bad smell of the water at the start of the walk put a damper on it. We decided to leave and go to Poudre Trail which was much more enjoyable. Maybe this natural area is better in the summer?

Nice place to enjoy nature, clean facilities.

Amazing beautiful spot

Seems overlooked b/c of the Riverbend Ponds to the north. Couple of loops. No bikes or dogs.

Nice hike/walk

I like waking through there or biking to. It is nice in the summer!

Nice area with a few trails to spot deer. Theres a unisex bathroom in the parking lot.

Great place to go for a hike. No bikes, or dogs allowed.
