Located within Denver’s city limits, Bluff Lake Park is a 123-acre wildlife nature center located along Sand Creek, with serene Bluff Lake at its heart.

It is a peaceful oasis full of wildlife and a range of different ecosystems. No motor vehicles, bikes, or dogs are allowed, but hiking trails abound and provide wonderful views of the city and the Front Range, especially from the top of the bluff. There are several nature observation stations and a boardwalk over the lake. There are a few picnic tables at the top of the bluff. If you want to keep hiking, there are connections to the Sand Creek Trail at the east and west ends of the park.
