The North Saint Vrain Access Trail provides foot access to North Saint Vrain Creek via the Dry Saint Vrain Trail (#920), a 1. 5-mile route that descends gradually through forest before dropping steeply to the creek bed.

Located 15 miles north of Lyons on Colorado Highway 7, the trailhead requires high-clearance 4WD vehicles for the final rough 0. 25 miles of access road, with limited parking available and no facilities on-site.

Note that North Saint Vrain Creek runs heavy during spring, early summer, and heavy rains, making crossing difficult or impossible during these periods.
