If traveling through the area, it's a great way to stretch your leg's after being in a car for a while. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">SSSHHH</span> - Lions Pond is Rifle's hidden secret! Many locals enjoy hiking this short trail during their lunch breaks and relaxing at the area picnic tables. Bring the fishing poles because the pond is stocked <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">with thousands</span> of of native fish. What I enjoy most about this hike is the wildlife viewing you get to experience at any given time, Elk, Deer, Eagles, Turtles, Fish, Owls, are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">frequent</span> guests. It's a Bird lover's paradise.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7454278459888424053-3715559850208148586?l=hikinginrifle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rifle Area Chamber of Commercehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11421070499150690004noreply@blogger.com1
