I may be a little biased because I'm an employee of South Suburban as a Parks Maintenance Tech but as far as "not wanting to go far but wanting to walk through nature" goes, this park/trail system is by far one of my favorite. You can be so immersed in the peacefulness of the scenery, and get a really engaging walk/hike in. And by the time you're done stopping in awe of another cool view, going off the trail to go stream-side, or even just taking a breather, so much time will have passed and you won't mind one bit. Highly recommended for light casual walkers/trail blazers. And family biking and casual strolling after dinner or a mid day fresh air break.
Parking is tricky but you can always use the overflow lot from the light rail station. The center itself has wonderful educational displays and great access to many different biking and hiking trails.
Beautiful area close to the Denver area. Great for biking, hiking, walking, fishing, bird watching, and plenty of wildlife. Dog friendly. Handicapped accessible.
We biked the Mary Carter/South Platt River Bike Trail. Beautiful scenery. Even saw a surfer and folks painting the incredible landscapes!
What a beautiful day spent on the river and trail. I am very grateful to live in such a lovely place.
Beautiful, clean, and well kept open space area! The walking trails are separate from the bikes. My dogs enjoyed playing in the river. Great views and lots of early morning shade.
We had a birthday party here for a bunch of 2nd graders. We did the nature detective party and it was great! The guides were super friendly and did a great job keeping the kids engaged. The pavilion was great, the only thing I would recommend is to bring a table if you need one because they only have benches. Overall loved this area and will be back to hike around on my own again too!
The nature center has a flower field behind and sunflower shelter and is great for sunset stroll. It also has a mini Colorado themed garden behind building with bathrooms. We usually head south and take east 👣 trail before bridge. No bikes allowed.
One of my favorite places to walk, especially since they recently redid their roadways and parking, so it is all newly paved roads and paved parking, right next the best trail heads, with wide cement bike trails and parallel gravel walking trails. Excellent trail guilde posts. Great ADA Handicap parking at all 3 parking lots, right at the trail heads.
It is a perfect place for walking dogs, biking, walking, or running for individuals and families, and there are picnik tables at various points, along the trails, with beautiful photography overlooks and quiet fishing points along the 3 lakes and trails that run all along the South Platte River.
The whole area is beautiful and well maintained, open for cars and parking from dusk 'til dawn.

We love this trail along the South Platte River. The views of the foothills are beautiful. We’ve seen various wildlife, including coyotes, water snakes, bull snakes, geese, ducks, herons, etc. The small water falls are relaxing to enjoy. When there’s enough water, the tubers, kayaks, and paddle boards are exciting to watch.
