The Boulder Creek Path runs right through town and is a wonderful place to walk or bike for a few miles, east or west. In the summer, the tall cottonwoods lining the banks provide lots of shade, and it is an equally calming, pretty place in the winter. Be careful of hard core speedsters passing on the left!
