STSP: Sloans Lake Evening Walk

TYPE: STSP Weekly | PACE: Conversational | TERRAIN: 100% sidewalk | DISTANCE: Approx. 2.54 mi | TIME: 1 hour 15 minutes

We are so back! Sloan’s Lake Park sits on the northwest side of Denver, bordering Lakewood, Edgewater, and Wheat Ridge. In the mid to late 1800s, Sloan’s Lake was actually a thoroughfare called South Golden Road connecting Denver to Golden. In 1866, Thomas F. Sloan accidentally unearthed the lake while digging a well.
More than 150 years later, Sloan’s Lake now offers 177 acres of public park where residents can enjoy hiking, jogging, and biking along the scenic trail surrounding the lake. The lake itself hosts activities like paddle boarding, dragon boat races, and fishing.

Come join Walk2Connect every Tuesday at 6 PM to explore Sloan’s Lake and meet your neighbors. This is a relaxed, casual walk that follows the paved path around the lake. Bring your flashlights!

Your Trip Host: Morgan Brittany Russo is an enthusiastic Associate Broker at JPAR Platinum and a proud Sloan’s Lake resident. You may spot Morgan walking or running around the park in her signature black hat. Don’t hesitate to say hi!
