Colorado averages 300 days of sunshine each year. A large part of Northern Colorado’s appeal is its natural beauty and abundant outdoor activities. Windsor recognizes its residents’ desire for the outdoors by creating open space and parks. Currently Windsor has over 40 miles of trails (trail map) throughout Windsor including trails around our beautiful lakes and four golf courses; as well as the Poudre Trail connecting Windsor to Greeley and Fort Collins.
