Park County is truly a PARK FOR ALL SEASONS. Recreational opportunities include hiking, backpacking, mountain climbing and biking, horseback riding, boating, fishing, hunting, cross-county skiing and snowshoeing. One of the fastest growing activities is wildlife viewing. Park County is well-suited for this “sport” with over 1,200 square miles of public lands, 12 state wildlife areas, and two state parks.

The elevation ranges from 7,200 feet along the South Platte River to 14,286 feet at the summit of Mount Lincoln near Alma. You will find South Park in the geographic center of Colorado, between the mountain ranges of Mosquito, Buffalo Peaks, the Park Range, the Front Range and Kenosha Mountains, and the Tarryall Mountains.

Sweeping vistas, alpine tundra, wetlands, rivers, sculpted peaks – this is Park County. It is rich in history and conveniently located. Come for a visit and you will want to stay forever.
