GREENWAYS
Oligarchy
Greenway
This greenway runs
parallel to part of the Oligarchy Ditch, going from
McIntosh Lake to union Reservoir. The greenway runs from
Airport Road to Rothrock Dell Park on an 8-foot wide
concrete path, accompanied by landscaping along the
flowing ditch.
Lefthand Greenway
From
Kanemoto Park south to Pike Road, the Lefthand Greenway
follows the Lefthand Creek, named for an Arapahoe
Indian, Chief Niwot (translated as "Lefthand"). Starting
from Left Hand Canyon, the trail travels through South
Longmont where mature willow and cottonwood trees grace
its banks. City plans call for the continuation of the
existing greenway from Pike Road to Hover Road along
Lefthand Creek.
St. Vrain Greenway
Running
from Weld County Road 1 to 7th Street, including parks
along the way. Miles of concrete bike paths and gravel
walk trails, and public art invite visitors of all ages
to the greenway. Parks along this route are Rogerâs
Grove, Golden Ponds, and Isaac Walton Pond.
Rough &
Ready Greenway
This
greenway threads through flanking neighborhoods on each
side and follows the Rough & Ready ditch. It spans from
9th to 21st Avenue, ending at the newly formed Rough &
Ready Neighborhood Park, just east of Ute Creek golf
course.

The Saint Vrain River
is a small front range river perfect for kayaking and
tubing. There are the drop structures are spread out
more than other local playparks leaving nice big pools
and eddies. This playpark is a good choice for the
novice boater. The drops are at different angles/slopes
lending to a variety of water features and waves.
Currently there are not any gates set up. With all the
trees around this course, temporary gates will not be a
problem. The best rodeo hole is 1/2 mile below the
actual playpark. It is just downstream of a foot bridge.
There are bathrooms, camping, a ballfield, horseshoes
and boating on site.
