Summary: From the Gold Hill parking lot find the sidewalk on the North East side of highway 67 and take it as it turns due north and becomes the centennial trail. The trail is a paved path all the way to Manitou Lake. Just remember that the trip to Manitou Lake is all down hill which means the trip back to your car is all uphill. You may prefer to park at Manitou Lake and do this trail the other direction. There are several good picnic spots along this trail which make it a great leisurely ride. Trailhead: The usual place to start this trail is by parking in the Gold Hill North shopping center in the town of Woodland Park. This is located at the intersection of highway 24 and highway 67 in Woodland Park. I have also included on the map several other good locations for parking and riding this trail. The best trailhead is to start at Manitou Lake so that your return trip to your car is all downhill.

Reviewed by KP on 6/5/2005 Its a very nice trail for people that live in town like myself. I'm a runner and thats where I do most of my running. Its a great workout(especially on the way back)b/c you go up a pretty big hill and then go down for a little then go right back up again and it keeps continuing. The scenary is spectacular as well with a mix of beautiful meadows, flowers, forest, and on the way back a great view of the peak. Some say they dont like being by the traffic but once you get out more towards the lake its not that bad it also makes me feel safe when I'm out running by myself. It really is a great local trail.
