State Parks

From the mountains to the plains, Colorado's 41 state parks are great places to experience the state's natural beauty. The list of activities at each of these areas is amazing. Boating, hiking, fishing and camping are among the most popular, but lesser-known activities range from model aeroplane fields to target shooting.

• Go boating in North Sterling State Park's reservoir, featuring 3,000 acres of water.
• Go rock climbing at Eldorado State Park, outside of Boulder.
• Spend a wintry night tucked warmly into a Mongolian-inspired yurt at Mancos State Park.
• Navigate your way through the terrain in a treasure-hunt event at State Forest State Park.
