The St. Vrain Greenway and Lagerman Preserve Loop offers a delightful blend of paved and gravel cycling, taking you from the urban edge of Longmont into serene natural preserves. You'll pedal alongside the St. Vrain River, passing Golden Ponds where local wildlife thrives, before transitioning to the gravel paths of Lagerman Agricultural Preserve, which provides stunning views of Longs Peak and active farmland. This easy 16.8-mile (27.0 km) route, with a minimal 275 feet (84 metres) of elevation gain, is perfect for a leisurely ride, taking approximately 1 hour and 39 minutes.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as public restrooms and parking are readily available at various trailheads along the route. While the St. Vrain Greenway is smooth and accessible for most touring bikes, consider a gravel bike or wider tires for the Lagerman Preserve sections to ensure a more comfortable ride. The route is generally well-signed, even during occasional construction detours, making navigation simple.
This loop is a highlight of Longmont's trail system, connecting several parks and offering a diverse cycling experience that showcases both the town's green infrastructure and the surrounding agricultural and natural beauty. It's an excellent option for those looking for family-friendly bike rides or an easy touring cycling experience that combines river views, lake vistas, and mountain backdrops, all within a short distance of Boulder County.
