Confirmed from Fountain 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 Fountain Creek Trail
Lots of parking, nice, flat, wide trails next to the creek. The perfect balance of sun and shade. One of my favorite trails in town.
This place is aweaome either for taking hikes, walking your dog, going on a fun run, or simply hanging out and playing GO. These trails offer many sights from ponds, streams, animals (ducks and deer mostly) as well as a quiet enviroment to escape into nature and enjoy your time outdoors.
Love this trail for walking. The views are great. Watch for which ponds you can fish, the one by the conservatory is no fishing. The park on the north end is great!
