Natural Area Open for Spring Season

Greeley's newest natural area was closed for the Winter season to provide wildlife respite from the cold and harsh weather. Deer, turkeys, and coyotes are some of the property's wildlife active during winter. Giving them space to rest allows them to use their energy reserves to stay warm and find food and shelter. The trails on the property get muddy from melted snow and become impassable by foot or bike until they dry out in the spring.

The natural area is open for walking, running, biking and bird watching. There is parking at the trailhead and a portable restroom on site. Please bring drinking water as there is no fountain or drinking water source at the trailhead.

Currently, dogs are not allowed on the property until further research can be conducted on the safety of your pet and the ecosystem in this area. Colorado is notorious for wet spring snow, so there is a good chance the trails will close due to muddy conditions. Always check COTREX (trails.colorado.gov) for updated trail closure information. 📍 Trailhead parking at Missile Site Park, 10611 CO-257 Spur, Greeley, CO 80634
