Mail Creek Trail#
Construction is now complete on the Mail Creek Trail east of Timberline.
Additional projects are underway, in partnership with the Engineering Department, that contribute towards the final completion of Mail Creek Trail including:
- Siphon Pedestrian Overpass - construction estimated to begin in Fall 2024
- Timberline Pedestrian Underpass - construction is now complete and open to the public
Mail Creek Trail will provide access to the Power Trail from the east, eliminating the need for trail users to travel north to Harmony or south to Trilby.

The City of Fort Collins would like to thank the many contributors for the completion of the Mail Creek Trail east of Timberline. Without the commitment of our partners, this important trail connection could not have happened.
In addition to these important neighborhood and regional connections, this segment of trail supports the mission of the City’s Safe Routes to School program with connections to Kinard Core Knowledge Middle School and Bacon Elementary. This project also aligns with the Council priority to advance a 15-minute city by accelerating active modes.
