The project will design and construct an approximately 0.7-mile long, 8-10 foot wide concrete and crusher fines trail around the lake to replace an existing social trail. The new trail will accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and other users, provide fishing, birdwatching, and picnicking opportunities, offer Front Range views, and improve trail connections, accessibility, and safety in greater Jefferson County. The project will be completed between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2027.
