Hi everyone,
-- Brighton/Adams County recently opened up a nearly 2.5 mile biking/hiking path that connects Ken Mitchell Park to a trailhead near E-470/Brighton Road. I ran this path this morning, and it now offers excellent views of 5 reservoirs that were previously either difficult to view or simply impossible to view. Although it requires some walking, it should provide terrific viewing of gulls, loons, grebes, ducks, and scoters if you're up for it. The majority of the new section also parallels the South Platte River which offers the usual species. I'm looking forward to spending time here this fall!
I don't know if they plan to open additional parking areas, but as of now, park at either Ken Mitchell Park in Brighton and follow the path south, or park at the trailhead just north of E-470/Brighton Road intersection and follow the path north.
The attached image shows the general area with the new path highlighted in red dots.
