Roxborough State Park is a crown jewel among the Colorado State Parks. The 3,319-acre park preserves the unparalleled scenic beauty of breathtaking sandstone outcroppings known as the Fountain and Lyons Formations. These elegant spires, sentinels and hogbacks rising abruptly on the Front Range are silent remnants of Roxborough's 1.3 billion year march through geologic time. Prehistoric man, Native Americans, trappers, ranchers and miners left their own historic marks here, too. Roxborough is a unique patchwork of delicate ecosystems providing a habitat for bears, cougars, fox, coyotes, eagles, hawks, rattlers and more. Visitors are encouraged to explore the park, open year-round, through hiking its 10.5 miles of day-use trails, observing wildlife and discovering their individual secrets, photographing nature, and participating in the many outdoor learning experiences. Winter activities include snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing.
