The Left Hand Greenway trail is in place from the St. Vrain Creek to Hover Street. The trail connects to the Longmont Recreation Center and Longmont Museum, Kanemoto Neighborhood Park and Left Hand Creek Neighborhood Park–all located along Left Hand Creek. Named after Chief Niwot (translated from the Arapaho language as “left hand”), the creek flows from Left Hand Canyon through south Longmont, where mature willow and cottonwood trees grace its banks.
