Nestled at the base of the spectacular San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, Ridgway is an outdoor recreation paradise. The park’s popular campgrounds, beautiful reservoir, picnic and playground areas, and diverse wildlife offer activities for all types of outdoor enthusiasts. Natural surface trails pass through the piñon and juniper forests and onto mesas offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountain peaks.

The naturalist-led hike is free, but park passes are required on all vehicles.
