The online Trail Explorer is currently undergoing an update and will be available soon. If you have a disability and need an alternative format for this information, please contact the city’s ADA coordinator at 303-987-7746 or adacoordinator@lakewood.org. 

For an alternate online interactive bike route map, the Bike Plan Implementation Tracker has an existing bicycle facilities layer that can be toggled on and off on the righthand column. This online tool can also be used to see future bike facilities proposed in the 2025 Lakewood Bicycle Plan.

Please see below for definitions and more information about the types of bike facilities in Lakewood’s bike route network.

Bike Facility Types

There are several different types of bicycle infrastructure in Lakewood’s bike route network. Each facility type in the existing network maps above is defined below.
