Located just outside Livermore, Eagle’s Nest Open Space offers pet owners a scenic escape with panoramic views of Colorado’s Rocky Mountain front range. This location is more of a dog-friendly hiking and open space than a traditional fenced dog park. Visitors can enjoy wide open trails, including beginner-friendly and relatively flat paths perfect for on-leash hiking or walking with your dog. While the area is not crowded, especially on weekends, its peaceful seclusion and natural beauty make it a favorite local spot for anyone looking for an uncrowded dog park near Livermore, CO.
There is a small parking area reached via a brief dirt road, and the park is best visited early or late in the day to avoid the summer heat, as there is little to no shade and no water available on site—be sure to bring plenty for your dog! The trails pass through varied terrain, including some rocky and cactus-prone areas, particularly if you venture left from the entrance. The right path tends to be more open and flatter, making it easier for walking with pets. Eagle’s Nest Open Space stands out for its tranquility, open skies, and dog-friendly trails amid natural Colorado beauty.

Not crowded on Sunday. We only did the lower loop due to the heat. We plan to go earlier in the morning next time and go further before it gets hot. There is no shade, but there are beautiful panoramic trails views. Highly recommend.
Gorgeous! You can go left or right when you enter, we went left, which was very narrow, Rocky, high up, windy pathways, not ideal for walking my dog because there was a lot of cacti. However, if we had gone to the right, it seems like it’s a lot more flat open space! You take a dirt road 5 minutes up to a small parking lot. It’s definitely not a really busy place, because it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it was worth the drive, I would go back. The views were amazing!
Very pretty views. For being a local hike for me (under 30 minutes drive) it was very nice. Triple bar and OT trail are a good beginner hikes. Not too much elevation gain and pretty flat on the paths. Keep in mind these are horse trails so you probably shouldn’t wear your favorite shoes lol
