Big Dry Creek Trailhead and Parking

I use this trail almost every day, and I love it. I feel very blessed to live close to it.

There is a gravel lot to park in just through the hotel's (?) parking lot off Independent. Heading west, the trail is paved for about .8 mi before going to small gravel. There is some water erosion on the gravel trail, but nothing too bad. The trail is wide and has some gentle hills. It was a great place for biking, walking, jogging, and running.

I am visitor to the Westminster area here for a short stay for work. The riding trail at Big Dry Creek is a fantastic and peaceful way to get much needed outdoor activity and exercise. I haven’t completed the entire trial but the areas I have been on are well maintained and the people I have met along the way are polite and friendly, I have really enjoyed using these fine resources.

We enjoy bike riding on this trail. It's not difficult and it goes pretty far. There does tend to be quite a few people on the trail walking, riding, etc so certain times are better than others. Make sure to bring lots of water because there is little shade and it does get really hot.

This is a pretty quiet trail head since it's nested between the open space and an adjoining parking lot. If you have no reason to go to the title agency or real estate office, and you don't travel this section of the trail, you might never notice this trail head. It does, however, afford passage of the occasional student before and after school, but not excessively so.
