Dry Creek Trailhead

If you are looking for a dog friendly, fenced in, off leash, flat loop trail in Boulder - this is the spot. Excellent views of the Flatirons towering over Baseline reservoir. The bridge that runs over the creek is a great spot for your furry friend to take a dip, cool off, and mingle with other pups.

Dogs must be leashed. I thought it was off leash area but needs to have leash on dog. Trail is good though. :)

Our pup’s favorite place to be off leash with the Voice/Site tags, clearly marked signs on when they can be off leash, mostly friendly people with their pups and a beautiful open field with dirt/gravel trails to enjoy that loop around. We see our pup friends here regularly and parking depends on time of day now that it has gotten more popular. Free poop bags at entrance and disposal so no excuse for the people who either don’t pay attention to their dogs or deliberately don’t pick up after their dog - which is the only negative about this place …more crowded in the past year so it seems more people like this bring their dogs.

It is a nightmare place due to unleashed dogs. Though the sign says dogs must be leashed, the owners keep them unleashed and it is a looooot of them. Not recommended if you don't like dogs jumping on your face. Difficulty Easy Route type Not sure Time spent Less than 1 hr Recommended activities Dog Walking

Just a couple of Bernese who love this trailhead. It's a nice loop with a lil dog swimming hole that appears over summer. Nice walk for the dogs.

Dog-friendliness Super dog friendly. Off leash area for people with tags thru Boulder too.

This is NOT a dog park. This is a hiking and equestrian trail with dogs allowed on-leash or off-leash only if the dog has a Boulder Voice-and-Sight registration tag. It is a popular place to walk dogs, but do not come here expecting a dog park like we did. The trail is nice overall, there's a splash area where the trail crosses a creek, but there is very little shade. If you are looking for an off-leash dog park, Google does show others in this area.

This park is one of the best I have seen in boulder area for walking dogs without leash.

There are signs everywhere that say dogs must be on a leash but no one follows the rules of the trail. So it felt like a dog park with dogs running around off leash.

I walked here daily while I temporarily lived nearby. Dog friendly. Everyone walked their dogs here and if you walk here without a dog you'll likely feel like you're not wearing pants. Nice open vistas of the Flatirons behind Baseline Reservoir.

Great place for a nice walk/hike or run. Dog friendly too. Really well maintained trails and easy to access and fun. Difficulty Easy Route type Loop Time spent 1-2 hr Recommended activities Hiking, Running, Dog Walking, Walking

One of the best spots for off-leash (w city tag required) dog play. If your dog or guardian is shy or aggressive with other dogs, don’t go here. This isn’t for you. This is for socially lovable and energetic dog play with a short loop hike from 1-2.5 miles. Not much water other than a little creek, bring water- its all open and no tree cover but super nice.

Shy/Anxious dog owners: Do NOT go here. Too many dogs off leash that shouldn't be (owners that don't have control over their dog, e.g. calling their dog back and the dog doesn't listen). A lot of dogs that don't respect other dogs personal space. While on my short walk, I heard at least 3 dog interactions that didn't go well, including one where I heard an off leash dog nip at another. My dog is anxious and doesn't like interacting with dogs. Because of this, she is always kept on leash, close to me, and I warn other dog owners that she is not friendly. Most dogs that deserve to be off leash notice her body language and know to stay away. We walk numerous other busy trails with fewer bad interactions. I had numerous encounters with other dogs running up to mine, even when I made it clear we didn't want to be bothered (e.g. warning the owner, staying off to the side, clear body language). Most of these dogs had owners that had no control over them and were not responsive to heel calls. These types of dogs should absolutely not be off leash and are a hazard. There are lots of children on the trail. I wouldn't feel comfortable with the dogs on this trail interacting with small children. If you don't mind poorly behaved dogs jumping up on you, then the trail is beautiful! Nice flat walk with some shade, pretty humid by the creek, pretty views of the mountains. Easy hike, not super long (about an hour around the loop).

Awesome place to take a well trained dog off leash on trails by a creek and great views!

If you haven't taken your pooch here, you must. I love getting my dogs off leash to run free. They love it, too! The actual trail is just a pleasant stroll through a park. Many, Many dogs, but all were well behaved and having a blast. I think the loop we did was around 2 miles. It was such a pleasure watching the dogs have the time of their lives. It puts me in a great mood. On a side note, we saw two different, very long snakes! Neither were harmful, but just be aware.

I saw a lot of cars lined up on the road. Fees No fees! Restrooms No restroom at all! Dog-friendliness Absolutely. Probably the only reason to go here is to let your dog run free.

This is the trail with worst experience, here I gave 1 star due to its beautiful view. The trail is much like a dog park than a trail, and even worse, almost all dogs were not on leash, the dogs in all kinds of size running around, some of them smell you and lick your legs,most of the dog owners are rude, they didn't feel awkward as their dogs licking you! They talked with each other occupied all trail and didn't care some else can not pass through...

Welcome to Dry Creek Trailhead in Boulder Colorado. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Down the street from the school. This Trailhead is extremely relaxing. Most people come here with their dogs. Which is really awesome! The trail is extremely long and you're able to walk for hours and hours. There's lots to see as you can tell from all my pictures. If you're looking for a great morning walk or even an afternoon walk. This is the place to go specially if you have pets. I always enjoy coming here and clearing my head. Thanks for looking!

This is a great space for dogs to roam off leash, with voice and sight tag. There is a short section from the parking lot to the first set of trash cans that is a leashed area, otherwise, you can let em frolic! Difficulty Easy Route type Loop Recommended activities Dog Walking

Good if you want to walk with a dog. But a lot of unleashed dogs. Ample parking and nice view of baseline reservoir
