Van Bibber Creek Trail Bridge

This creek was named for Isaac Van Bibber, whose farm was near the creek in 1859. Farms along the creek raised wheat, oats, corn, hay, and strawberries. When the creek reached Arvada, it was called Dry Creek because there was little water left by the time it joined Ralston Creek at Garrison Street. Jefferson County Open Space initially acquired the land that became Van Bibber Park in 1978 and continued acquiring land until the park assumed its current boundaries in 1995.

This section runs through the Stenger sports complex  and sports fields and then ends up at Ralston Creek.

This is only a smal section (toward the end) of the 5.3-mile loop of trails. It's considered an easy route, it takes an average of couple hours to complete the whole loop. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, dog walkers and horseback riding, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas. Observe the rules and pick up after your dog(s). This info was found on AllTrails & Plan Jeffco. There is an observation deck to watch the habitat in the wetlands section.

Very busy trail, allot of foot traffic +.
