Known as one of the best bike baths in the country, Boulder Creek Path offers miles of biking pleasure perfect for the active commuter, hardcore cyclist, or family out for a ride. Providing access to numerous parks, ponds, historical markers, gardens, rock-climbing opportunities, botanical sites, and a farmers' market, you'll scarcely need a car when you visit this bike-friendly city. As you ride, you'll also come across landmarks such as the local art museum, public library, the Senior Center, CU-Boulder Research Park, and the Stazio Ballfields. If you're hungry for a bite, the creek path takes you near several famous and popular local spots, including the Dushanbe Teahouse and Fate Brewing Company. You can also fish and picnick along the path which segues into other routes and may be accessed at several points.
