Neighborhood Bird Outing at Sloan's Lake — free guided walk in Denver
Free guided bird walk around Sloan's Lake, Denver's largest lake. Migrating waterfowl and shorebirds passing through during fall migration. Sep 13, 8–10 AM MDT.
Why we picked this
Sloan's Lake is Denver's largest lake and one of the most reliable in-city spots for migrating waterfowl — a walk you can do before a Saturday errand run without driving anywhere.
This free guided walk circles Sloan’s Lake, Denver’s largest body of water and a consistent stop for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds moving through the metro area in September. The lake’s size means a wider variety of species than smaller neighborhood ponds typically attract.
The walk covers flat, paved paths around the lake perimeter, suited to most fitness levels. A Denver Audubon guide helps identify what’s on the water and points out any shorebirds working the shoreline.
Free and open to all skill levels. The walk runs 8 to 10 AM, meeting at the south parking lot at 17th & Utica.
