The City of Wheat Ridge is building a soft-surface pedestrian trail around the east and northern shores of Tabor Lake. The project includes a shade pavilion, bird blind, and other seating, and connects the Clear Creek Trail to Van Gordon St. This portion will be accessible for all users and open to both pedestrian and equestrian users.

This project originally started as an idea from the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Commission. The city is investing American Rescue Plan funds into this project and has received $410,000 in grant funds from the Jefferson County Open Space Trails Partnership Program and $451,279 from the Land and Water Conservation Fund support for the project.

    Construction on the trail portion of the Tabor Lake Trail project is now complete, and pedestrians and equestrians can use the soft-surface trail that connects the Clear Creek Trail to Van Gordon St. along the east and north shores of the lake. Cyclist users should walk their bikes on this segment as it has narrow curves around the lake.

    Minor construction work is still underway on project items that don't directly impact trail users. Once the project is fully complete, which is anticipated to be in June, the public will be invited to a ribbon-cutting event. This project was primarily funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (through Colorado Parks and Wildlife) and the Jefferson County Parks & Open Space sales tax proceeds.

    The community is invited to a ribbon-cutting event on Thursday, June 4th at 9:30am at the southeast corner of Tabor Lake. Please park at Prospect Park (W 44th Ave and Robb St) and follow the signs to the trail; we’ll guide you there! Enjoy light refreshments, friendly faces, and a few words from our Mayor Pro Tem and community partners as we celebrate this exciting new addition together

    The design phase for this trail project has been completed and a construction contract has been awarded. Site preparation will occur during spring and summer 2025, but the bulk of the construction will begin in fall 2025 after the seasonal Lee and Baugh ditch is done flowing for the season and the local birds' nesting season is over.
