The river path and the St. Vrain Trailhead
The flat in-town path that links Sandstone Park, the Depot and LaVern M. Johnson Park without crossing the highway, plus the south bank to Bohn Park.
The short, flat, right-for-the-evening walk. The river path joins Sandstone Park, the Depot and LaVern M. Johnson Park without crossing the highway; the St. Vrain Trailhead on 2nd Avenue gives the south bank and Bohn Park. Leashed dogs, bikes, and the off-leash park at Bohn.
