Confirmed from Greeley Poudre River Trails' 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.

21-mile paved path for walking, cycling, running & roller-blading, with numerous access points.

My wife, son, and I took a two mile stroll along this trail on a cool winter day. Even in the winter, there is an abundance of birds: geese, ducks, hawks and small birds. The trail is wide and paved.

It’s a beautiful trail to enjoy with the whole family. There is not a lot of sitting space because it’s of a running or biking train. We got caught in a storm but really enjoyed the peaceful walk while it lasted.
