The Chicken Creek Trail System provides fantastic family-friendly hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking in the ponderosa pines and is a gateway to higher elevation trails. These loops are beginner friendly. Dogs are allowed.

This area is also well known for its groomed cross-country skiing during the winter months. The result is the new Blue Jay Trail and the Lost Chicken Trail in the Chicken Creek area. The trails generally run gradually uphill from southwest to northeast, with about 750' elevation gain from the lowest point at the Chicken Creek Trailhead to the highest at the easternmost point along the Lost Chicken Trail.

Most of the trails are considered easy for all users, though there are a short few technical sections. Downhills are fast and fun. These are multi-use, non-motorized trails so be courteous and aware of other users.
