Trail Desk · Colorado
Three sample cards. Algae, heat, and a leash rule. Each one points at the agency that actually posts the notice. Photos are animals from the design system, not pictures of the trail.
Sample desk, not a live closure feed. Confirm the land manager before you go.
Algae caution
Aurora · Photo · Jamie Street Sample animal, not this place.
Dogs have died after drinking toxic algae here. CDPHE’s line is “when in doubt, stay out.” This card is not a live advisory.
Check the park and CDPHE before anyone goes near the shoreline.

Heat window
Littleton · Photo · Alvan Nee Sample animal, not this place.
A reservoir park with a long shoreline. On a hot sample afternoon the walk window is the morning, same pavement rule as Paw Forecast.
Park rules, including dogs, are on the CPW page. This desk does not replace them.

Leash
Golden · Photo · Jan Antonin Kolar Sample animal, not this place.
Mesa trails above Golden. Jefferson County Open Space requires a leash of 10 feet or less. Rattlesnakes live on the mesa.
Stay on the trail, leash up, and read the park page for closures before you leave the lot.

Guidance, not veterinary advice. A dog that drank suspect water needs a veterinarian, not this page.
