The Mary Carter Greenway runs car-free along the South Platte through the whole town — north toward Denver, south to Chatfield — and the High Line Canal and Lee Gulch branch off into quiet neighborhoods. Add historic downtown Main Street and it's an easy, flat place to ride. Plan a low-stress route or a distance loop.
Littleton's riding is built around the South Platte: a long, flat, car-free greenway spine with a web of creek and canal paths branching off it, all tying into historic downtown. Here's the backbone.
The spine — a flat, car-free path along the South Platte the full length of town, connecting Chatfield, Hudson Gardens, and downtown north toward Denver.
The famous canal path threads through Littleton — a soft, shaded, nearly flat route that wanders for miles across the metro.
A quiet creek connector linking the Mary Carter Greenway east into Littleton's neighborhoods and the High Line Canal.
The south end of the greenway opens onto Chatfield's reservoir loops — miles of flat, scenic riding around the water.
An east-side greenway tracing Big Dry Creek toward the Streets at SouthGlenn — calm and almost entirely off-street.
Keep going north on the greenway and the path runs unbroken toward downtown Denver along the river — a long, flat one-way option.

Every street and path is graded for how calm and connected it really is — so the route you get is one you'll actually enjoy.
Trails, lanes, and quiet streets are color-graded by stress level — cool means calm, red means watch out.
Want a 12-mile ride? Get loops that hit your target and bring you back home, not an out-and-back you have to reverse.
The map flags uncontrolled crossings — busy roads with no signal — so nothing catches you off guard.
See the climb before you commit, and flip on “prefer flat” when you (or the kids) aren't in the mood for hills.
Search an address, drop a pin, or use your location. Or pick “Loop ride” and just set a distance.
Kid-friendly, relaxed, or anything-goes. Trazo biases the route toward protected paths to match — and you can drag the line to add a stop.
