Chatfield Dam Trail (Paved Section)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This short, paved trail is wheelchair accessible and provides a vantage point to watch boats, appreciate the mountain views, or spectate the dog park! In the summer/spring bugs can be absurdly bad along the path, but the beauty kinda makes up for it. At the area closest to the parking lot, there are picnic tables and a shelter.
