Hiking
This is a popular hiking destination for visitors and the blue and green loop can get awfully busy on the weekends. We recommend trying one of the other trails in the area and go during the week.

Walking
This is a beautiful 3 mile walk around the lake with Longs Peak rising in the background. First thing in the morning is when I like to go when the water is like glass. https://www.longmontcolorado.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/86/56?npage=2

A unique "zoo" experience, the animals are free and you're in the cage! Not really but you do walk through on an elevated fenced in walkway and observe the animals below. Try to go while they are feeding the animals, it a real treat. https://www.wildanimalsanctuary.org/
