south platte park and the carson nature center印象

I love taking my dogs here and walking along the long trails in the park. It is a great place to spend time at.
-
The walking trails go on forever. They are beautiful as are the bike trails. Worth the stop. Good place for pets (on a leash).

Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the view via a walk along the Platte River. The nature center has helpful, friendly volunteers that can answer any questions you have. There are animals in the nature center as well as a fantastic interactive water table that demonstrates what happens to land during a flash flood. That part is going to be your hardest piece to tear the kids away from! Lots of geocaching in the area as well.

The entire river way from Chatfield SP to Confluence Park is a terrific resource, but the South Platte Park area is spectacular. Lopts of wildlife & quiet alongside a beautiful river with a paved bike path and trail/gravel options for most of the way. It's a really nice and easy float as well, with only a few half-exciting chutes along the way, with easy portage trails for the totally unadventurous.

We went here thinking of doing a less strenous walk as we knew it would be flatter. It certainly was. And it was somewhat scenic being along the river but I would not call it peaceful and tranquil as you are constantly around major highways with lots of traffic. This is probably more a place for locals or if you want to do a less strenous bike outing with family. The nature center was closed when we were there so we cannot comment on that.

Walking distance from light rail. Great hiking and biking.Visit the nature center.Lots of restaurants nearby.

Near river and trails for tubing,there are two small log buildings with history stuff inside. Many pics of some 1965 flood that devasted area,and resulted in the reservoir dams,which kept the meandering river intact and not rerouted. Also,many stuffed animals of area, which is great for children to see.Another free attraction. Visited with son's family.

The nature center is just west of Aspen Grove shopping center at Santa Fe and Mineral. It has lots of hands-on exhibits on ecology, live animals, and a giant water table with sand and flowing water to learn about erosion and floods. Good outing for toddlers to school aged kids. Lots of classes and activities through South Suburban Parks and Rec. Knowledgable volunteers and rangers. The paved paths stretch for miles along the South Platte River and are a favorite for cyclists and runners. There are several ponds south of the nature center near C-470 for fishing and exploring. There is also a dog park in the vicinity. Overall a much appreciated natural area in the midst of suburban sprawl. Free admission.

On the Denver bike path trail, walking, jogging and biking available from here but limited parking in lot - use part & ride lot nearby. Great education center about Platte river ecology with various programs offered during the summer. Next to Aspen Grove center.

Stopped here on our vacation in Littleton, CO. We loved the Walking/Biking trails, all the nature and scenery but mostly the RIVER! Went tubing and had a blast! A wonderful place to spend the day with family and friends. Will definitely stop here every time I visit Litttleton.
