This is a beautiful loop trail with plenty of side trails to explore as well. The path takes you through thick forests around the reservoir, where you'll get spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.<br />
Please share the path with mountain bikers.<br />

From Colorado Springs and I-25, take US 24 West to Woodland Park. Turn right just past McDonald's onto Baldwin Rd. Follow this through the stop signs (at least 3). Go about 3 miles and turn right onto Loy Creek Rd. at the 3 way intersection. Continue on this paved road to the four way intersection of dirt roads. Turn right, following the sign for Eagle Creek (this is Rampart Range Rd.). Trailhead is approximately 2.5 miles on the left.
