This regional trail follows Fountain Creek from the Janitell Bridge in southern Colorado Springs through Fountain Creek Regional Park.
Hikers, bikers, and horseback riders enjoy a variety of wildlife attracted to the water's edge along the ribbon of large cottonwoods which line this riparian corridor.
The Fountain Creek Trail begins at the southern edge of Fountain Creek Regional Park and extends approximately 10 ½ miles to the Colorado Springs city limit. Trail users can gain access from all three entrances into Fountain Creek Regional Park.
A continuous trail route from Palmer Lake to the City of Fountain is available using the County's New Santa Fe Regional Trail, the City's Pikes Peak Greenway and the Fountain Creek Regional Trail.
