Confirmed from High Line Canal 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 High Line Canal Trail
“If you want a place for a stunning walk this is it.”
This is a fantastic trail for a jog in the sun or the snow. Beautiful houses and horses to look at.
Nice walk/bike trail. And in some sections you will see some massive cottonwood trees. There are dog 🐕waste stations with garbage cans and bags.
One of our favorite trails in the Denver area. Using this trail connects the I25 corridor in Highlands Ranch to the Platte River trails. We've used it ot bike from Park Meadows Mall all the way to Downtown Denver in about 2 hours. Totally fun!
Never crowded and crazy long. If you want a place for a stunning walk this is it.
