Family-Friendly Trails in Rocky Mountain National Park
The 0.8-mile Sprague Lake Trail is popular with families, thanks to its flat, easily accessible terrain. This trail encircles the water, providing fantastic views of the surrounding peaks, such as Half Mountain, Notchtop, Thatchtop, Hallett, Taylor, and Otis. Keep an eye out for moose and beavers, who love to frequent this body of water! This is one of the family-friendly trails that is accessible year-round, even throughout the winter months. The 0.7-mile Bear Lake trail is another favorite for families. Encircling the lake, there is plenty of scenery to take in along the way. Stop to rest or picnic along the route at one of the many benches provided.
For something with a bit more distance, consider exploring the Lake Estes Trail, which encircles Lake Estes. This 3.8-miletrail offers other options besides journeying on foot. Consider renting bicycles to enjoy the scenery from a different vantage point. Bike rentals are available at the adjacent Estes Park Marina.
