About the Hall Ranch Open Space
Hall Ranch Open Space is a picturesque park located in Lyons, Colorado, United States. The landscape features rolling grasslands, sandstone buttes, and stunning views of wildflowers, animals, and scenic vistas. With 3.7 miles of trails, the park offers a challenging hike, although horses are permitted but not recommended due to the difficulty level. Prescribed burns are conducted when conditions allow to maintain the ecosystem.
Currently, a major construction project is underway at the Hall Ranch Trailhead to improve drainage, road surface, and overall efficiency. The goal is to prevent erosion, make vehicle access easier, and reduce impacts on the surrounding area. The project includes replacing wood parking timbers with sustainable stone curbing to avoid water pooling.
The park is part of the Foothills ecosystem, where the Great Plains meet the Southern Rocky Mountains. The diverse landscape includes cliffs, canyons, hills, and meadows, providing habitats for a variety of animals. Visitors can enjoy views of the dramatic rock formations along the trails, showcasing the geological history of the area.
The property was originally home to Arapaho and Cheyenne Indian tribes, and later homesteaded by Anglo families. The Nelson House, a remnant of an old homestead, can be found along the Nelson Loop Trail. The park also features a quarry that provided stones for the University of Colorado Boulder's buildings.
Visitors can access the park at the South Saint Vrain Drive address, with office hours from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday and by phone, email, or appointment on Fridays. For more information, including applications for Small Business Grants, visit the website at Boco.org/SBGrant.
Reviews of Hall Ranch Open Space
"Very pretty. Watch for rattlesnakes, though! One gave my wife quite the spook!"
"Very nice trail system with great views throughout. There are shared trails (bike/walk) and trails for only hikers. Be cautious of the bikers. They are supposed to yield but are moving very fast down the trail."
"Fun place to hang out and play with the kiddos"
"Quiet and peaceful"
