A total of 13.5 miles of trails meander all throughout Candelas, and every one of them presents an opportunity to take a walk, jog, bike ride or hoof it on horseback. You can stay within the familiar confines of Candelas and explore all parts of the community, or enjoy direct access to open space lands and trails at the gateway of the Rockies.

There is approximately 193 acres of open space located within the District's boundaries available for residents to explore at their leisure. Residents may even find a population of active wildlife in the open spaces that provide great opportunities for educational outdoor excursions.
