Fort Collins has a new all-purpose bike trail to make your commute to and from CSU safer. This new trail connects the Spring Creek Trail to the Prospect Underpass, safely through The Gardens on Spring Creek, instead of crossing multiple lanes of traffic on Center Ave.
Spring Creek sees seasonal flooding in the bike/pedestrian tunnel under Centre Ave., but a new bridge has been constructed over the creek as part of the project, giving people an outlet for a detour north if the tunnel is blocked by high water. The trail will start near the Gardens on Spring Creek amphitheater and will run north through Lilac Park, then along the east side of the CSU Horticulture Center before reaching the underpass at Prospect. This new trail allows students to easily and safely ride between campus to housing, restaurants, grocery stores, and more south of campus.
Now that the weather is warming up and summer is right around the corner, get on your bike and use this new trail to explore all the magic Fort Collins has to offer!
