Waterton Canyon Trail follows a dirt and gravel service road up a wide canyon following the South Platte River. This is actually the same path as the northernmost miles of the Colorado Trail.

Hiking
… easy access, a trail which is a wide dirt road, best for gravel biking, always a safe bet to see lots of wildlife including bighorn sheep … picnic tables and public restrooms … very well suited for beginners in hiking and biking … no electric bikes allowed … no dogs allowed
