Bike or Walk the Fraser River Trail.
Likely the most popular & widely used trail in the area, the Fraser River Trail meanders alongside its namesake river and stretches between the village at Winter Park Resort and nearby town of Granby about 20 miles down the line. If you're starting out front of our shop (located in Downtown Winter Park) your best bet is to either take the 2 mile section up to Winter Park Resort or head out the opposite way for a 2ish mile trek to Fraser.
