For a true fenced off-leash dog park, the nearest option is in Fort Collins, about 45 miles (roughly 70 minutes) away.
The Dowdy Lake Trail (2.3-mile loop) circles the largest lake in the Red Feather Lakes chain. The Lady Moon and Molly Moon Trail (roughly 6.5 miles round trip) is a favorite for a longer forest hike with moderate elevation gain.
