In this segment, you’ll wrap around McLellan Reservoir as you enter the City of Littleton heading north. Writer’s Vista Park makes a nice break and offers sweeping views of the Front Range and the reservoir. Larger homesites and adjacent open space in this area contribute to the well-being of coyotes and red foxes. Historically, alfalfa pastures, hayfields, and fruit orchards flourished because of the Canal’s water.
