An abundance of outdoor recreation near Fairbrooke
Fairbrooke is situated within minutes of the most popular outdoor area in Fort Collins, including hiking trails, campgrounds and water recreation. The Horsetooth Reservoir was constructed in the late 1940s originally for irrigation in Colorado’s northern Front Range. Fairbrooke is about 4 miles southwest of downtown Fort Collins. “While Fairbrooke doesn’t have a designated homeowners association like some other midtown communities, it’s just as desirable as those with HOA perks due to its proximity to the Rocky Mountains and the reservoir,” says Morgan Merriman, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Alliance. “In the summer, the area can get crowded, but it’s not just a tourist attraction. It’s loved by locals as well.”
Waterside activities at the Horsetooth Reservoir
With 25 miles of shoreline and 1,900 surface acres, the Horsetooth Reservoir sees over 550,000 visitors each year. The area is busiest in the summer months for fishing, swimming, tubing and paddle boarding. Activities don’t end at the shoreline, with over 20 miles of hiking and biking trails, campgrounds and picnic areas. The Red Fox Meadows Natural Area is a protected animal habitat and stormwater detention site with a mile of trails. Rolland Moore Park has a playground, paved walking trails and facilities for pickleball, volleyball, soccer, basketball and baseball. The park’s four baseball diamonds play host to the Fort Collins Adult Softball League. The Spring Creek Trail connects Rolland Moore to Spring Park and other nearby parks, while winding 9 miles along Spring Creek.
