Support Your Local Trails by playing the
Colorado Lottery!
 |
|
The Lottery
works with many
Parks & Recreation Departments!
Marketing research shows that Lottery players
consistently name the use of proceeds for parks, recreation,
wildlife, conservation education, and open space projects as
their number one reason for continuing to play Lottery games.
Since 1983, the Lottery has returned $1.6 billion to the people
of Colorado! |

There are approximately 15.5 miles of recreation
trail in Loveland that run from Boyd Lake State Park,
in the northeast to the Big Thompson River, along
Wilson Avenue. The trail winds through the west shore of Boyd Lake, along irrigation
canals, through fields, over and under city streets, and along
the Big Thompson River through some very beautiful areas.
Approximately twenty miles of paved
urban trail are planned with the goal of developing
off-street trails that will encompass the perimeter of
the city. Quarter-mile markers are located along a large portion of the
trail to measure distance traveled.
The trail is partially handicap accessible from several locations (see
trail map), and is
designed to accommodate many types of recreational
uses.
Guidelines
1) Please obey all signs.
2) Please stay on the designated
trail; be courteous; and respect the rights of
adjacent property owners.
3) Please keep the trail clean
and safe for all users by putting litter in its
place.
4) All pets must be on a
hand-held leash.
5) For the enjoyment of all trail
users, please pick up after your pet.
6) Horses (except police) are not
allowed on the current paved sections of the trail.
7) Motorized vehicles (except
police and maintenance) are not allowed on the
trail.
8) The flow of traffic on the
trail is similar to road traffic. Always ride or
walk on the right side and warn others of your
approach.
9) Ride or walk single file when
traffic is coming from the opposite direction or
when someone verbally signals they would like to
pass.
10) Be predictable: ride or walk
in a straight line and avoid weaving. When passing
others on the trail, verbally warn them that you are
passing on the left.
11) Be aware of children, pets
and slower moving traffic.
12) Bicyclists are encouraged to
use helmets. Make sure your bike is operational and
properly equipped (including reflectors and lights).
13) Report accidents on the trail
directly to the Police Department (Dial 911).
14) Report trail maintenance
problems or vandalism to the Parks and Recreation
Department at 962-2727.
