You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the amusing stuff in the Front Range. Visit Freeman Creek since you're here at Wellington Lake, and you can have a splendid hiking adventure along the Lake Park  
   Trail. If you go for the outdoors you'll go for it here in the Front Range. Take a hike on the Rolling Creek Trail, and South Platte River has a great whitewater paddling spot close by.
