Great Western Trail, Phase I Grand Opening

September 2008

The 11.7 mile Great Western Trail is planned as a mixed-use recreational trail that will connect the towns of Windsor, Severance and Eaton, Colorado.  Utilizing the abandoned rail bed of the Great Western Railroad, the trail will preserve this historic right-of-way through the “rail banking” provisions of the federal Rails to Trails legislation. Future connection with the Poudre River Trail that runs from Greeley to Fort Collins will expand Northern Colorado’s growing regional trails network.

 

Mission statement: 

The Great Western Trail provides recreational and educational opportunities as well as alternative transportation modes that connect communities through the historic Great Western Railway right of way in rural Weld County.
