Green Mountain Park Lakewood
Hiking Green Mountain in Lakewood.

Green Mountain (William Frederick Hayden Park) – Lakewood

FacebookTwitter

William Frederick Hayden Park, aka Green Mountain, is more than 2,400 acres of open space, making it the second largest in Lakewood. Its summit at 6,800 feet offers fantastic 360° views of the Denver metropolis and Rocky Mountains.

Most of the park was donated by, or purchased from, the Hayden family in 1972. It is now run by the city of Lakewood. Biking and hiking to the top of of its hilltop is a locals’ favorite.

There are several parking arounds located around the mountains, with different trailheads and routes up. None of the hiking trails are too challenging, however, they are uphill! It takes less than 2 hours to reach the top by foot. It’s free to use and park. In the winter there are brief stints where you could snowshoe the trail.
