Your guide to Longmont
All About Longmont
Set against the backdrop of Longs Peak and the soaring Rocky Mountains, Longmont straddles both Boulder and Weld counties along Colorado’s Front Range. Its proximity to both mountains and lakes, coupled with its numerous city parks, make Longmont a magnet for hikers, bikers, boaters, and kayakers, many of whom spend time away from the woods and waters sampling the city’s formidable craft brewing scene.
Downtown, you’ll discover a unique mix of contemporary and historic architecture in the Longmont Creative District. You can explore the city’s thriving arts community in various art galleries, book shops, music stores, and entertainment venues — and you’ll find more than 75 permanent artworks, including sculptures and murals, along the streets throughout the town.
Longmont is home to several parks, such as Blue Skies Park, Rough and Ready Park, and Stephen Day Park — all offering an abundance of recreational opportunities. The 735-acre Union Reservoir, also known as Calkin’s Lake, is a hub for paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming, and you’ll often see windsurfers gliding on the lake’s glassy surface. For a short hike with spectacular views, you can head to Rabbit Mountain, where a multi-use trail meanders through diverse terrain with vistas of hillside meadows, wildflowers, and the Front Range. In the winter, you can head back to this same area for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
