Map |
Located in the famous Black Forest in central Colorado,
Castlewood Canyon State Park offers visitors hiking, rock climbing
and unique sightseeing opportunities in an arid and beautiful setting.
The ruins of the century-old Castlewood Canyon Dam form the centerpiece
of the park and leads visitors to hiking trails that wind their
way into the deepest regions of the canyon. Dramatic canyon walls
and the unique ruins make up some of the park's attractions. Castlewood
Canyon State Park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset for sightseeing,
picnicking, hiking, nature study and technical rock climbing. The
park is also popular for bird watching and photography. Castlewood
Canyon is a day-use park only and does not offer camping.
Volunteers are often needed for trail work, noxious weed cleanup
and other projects that help maintain the park's natural beauty.
For more information on these ongoing programs, please contact the
park.
