Colorado's Best State Parks
With 40 state parks, Colorado offers a variety of experiences -- from forested mountain parks to reservoir parks and river parks.
In the northwest portion of the state, Steamboat Lake State Park, located 30 minutes north of Steamboat Springs, offers incredible camping, water sports and scenic relaxation.
Sylvan Lake State
Park, 16 miles south of Eagle, is a great secluded
getaway. Quiet and remote, there's
good fishing and non-motorized boating. Try
the camper cabins available at Sylvan Lake and several other state parks in
Colorado.
For those traveling near the Colorado Springs/Pikes Peak area,
Mueller
State Park is a highly rated campground. Eighty
miles of trails offer a variety of outdoor opportunities, and the hands-on, fun
exhibits in the park's Visitor Center are a definite "must-see" for
all ages.
Near the Denver area, Roxborough State Park, a day-use park, has been designated a national natural landmark by the Department of Interior. Dramatic red-rock formations and wildlife viewing make this a very special park.
