Confirmed from Cherry Creek Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Cherry Creek Trail
“Great access, super clean, great signage, respectful bikers and walkers, expansive and quiet.”
“It’s suitable for all ages, whether you’re walking, biking, or just taking in the scenery.”
Great trail to walk, run or bike. However, watch out for the cyclists that think they are professionals and ride as fast as they can.
Lovely trail. Good coverage in many spots on a warm day, sensations leaves in the fall, water nearby, just lovely.
We biked this trail from the Parker Rec Center north, on a Monday. Very pleasant ride, well maintained trail. Lots of parks and rest areas. Highly recommend!
The Cherry Creek Trail is a great place to explore Parker, get some exercise, and just enjoy being outside. It’s suitable for all ages, whether you’re walking, biking, or just taking in the scenery.
