Confirmed from Sellars Gulch 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 Sellars Gulch Trail
Easy breezy walk that connects the Douglas County fairgrounds park (great area that includes an off leash park), Festival Park in downtown, and Plum Creek trail (also a nice walk). Dog, kid, and bike friendly.
Very peaceful but trail shared with all. Dogs allowed. In the heart of downtown Castle Rock
Nice paved walk to walk your leashed dog, along Plum Creek. Or to ride your bike.
