Why we picked this
Late September at South Platte Park is peak fall migration — shorebirds and waterfowl numbers build fast this time of year, so this walk tends to produce a longer species list than the summer editions.
This free three-hour guided walk covers the south end of South Platte Park, starting from the C-470 trailhead. Late September is peak fall migration along the Front Range, and the river corridor here reliably draws shorebirds and waterfowl building toward their winter numbers.
Flat terrain makes the walk accessible for most fitness levels. A Denver Audubon guide leads the group and helps identify what’s moving through.
Free and open to all skill levels. The walk runs 8 to 11 AM at the South Platte Park C-470 trailhead in Littleton.
