Confirmed from Sand 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 Sand Creek Trail
“This trail is a local favorite that is well maintained.”
“Fun & several different paths, great shade & fun for nature walks with little oned!”
Great trail. Very well maintained. Almost entirely tree covered for good shade. Almost entirely flat. Mulched path. Just shy of 2 miles long. Went early on a Saturday morning and didn't see anyone else on the trail.
It's a great trail for a nature walk! The only thing I didn't like about it was that the mulch that lines the path has pieces of thorn trees in it. I got a good sized thorn through the sole of my shoe on the way to our destination, and my husband got a thorn through his shoe as well on the way back.
Great place to take my doggo to walk. So quiet and beautiful. Trail well taken care of
Fun & several different paths, great shade & fun for nature walks with little oned!
