Bluff Lake Nature Center — Attraction in Denver

Today me and my boyfriend went to the Bluff Lake Nature center. We pulled into the handicap parking spot (My boyfriend has BCELL ALL, cancer) and so he is registered as handicap because he runs out of breath and has a hard time. We get out of the car and there are two workers , one said his name was Chester copperpot? Probably lying. But anyways I’m not sure the other workers name but he drives A black frontier truck with the license plate NHO-863. They keep yelling at us telling me and my boyfriend that he’s not handicapped and needs to leave, and my boyfriend shows them the port to his chest and they keep telling us to leave.. I believe it was because my boyfriend is Mexican and Native American but I’m not sure. It seemed like a race issue. They start telling us that we’re trespassing and we try to ignore them and just walk around the lake, and they follow us shouting at us and call the cops. When they go to call the cops we say we’ll leave and they ended up locking the gates and not letting us leave! The park sign says “closes at sun down” but apparently it’s sundown at 7 o clock and so now we can’t leave Bc they closed their gates and since we’re still inside we’re trespassing.. cops showed up and nothing happened we left without a ticket and the worker was getting mad at the cops wanting to press charges. It’s crazy the treatment we went through all while my boyfriend is doing intensive chemo. PLEASE rate bluff lake nature center a 1 Star on google reviews. Those workers need to face consequences !!! This is the workers car pictured below and apparently this has happened to so many people. He shuts the gates whenever he feels like it and locks people in and their cars...

First things first - the Bluff Lake Nature Center itself can be found just East of Martin Luther King & Havana; it's their business office that is on 29th Street. The refuge is due East of Stapleton. Martin Luther King Blvd. is now open and connects Quebec Street to Bluff Lake. This place is one of Denver's most wonderful secrets. It's a 123-acre wildlife refuge in East Denver, and it hosts one of the most amazing views of the front range I have ever seen. The walking path is nice and well preserved, and it's never busy. Despite being so urban, once you've stepped down into it, the rest of the world just seems to disappear. This is a great spot to do some birding, get some exercise, meditate, or volunteer. Plus, the wildlife and nature photo ops...

Really awesome place. Just kinda smelly in parts. Some of the trails cut through the fields. If you dare to go to these paths MAKE SURE YOU WATCH FOR COYOTE DENS!!!! My husband and I didn't even think 🤔 for a second we would've ran into one. We did. Good thing it was in the middle of the day and they just have been sleeping inside of it. However, we did hear a howl/screaming noise as we were forced to jump over it. CAN YOU SAY FREEEAKY!! THANK GOODNESS BOSSCO WAS AT HOME. Other than that it was a really nice walk until you get closer to Buckley then the smell hurts your nose 👃 🤮🤢 then it's gone again. Apparently snakes are in the area gardeners or bull snakes 🐍 my husband told me smell just like that. Smells so soo bad. Over all...
