Lake Pueblo State Park is fast becoming a premier trail destination in Southeast Colorado due to the park's mild year-round climate. With over thirty four miles of paved trails open to both hiking and biking, it's easy to spend the whole weekend exploring the park on our trail system.
The popular, paved Pueblo River Trail connects the
city's trail system to the park for bicyclists and hikers. A portion of this trail is part of the greater
Front Range Trail project that hopes to ultimately connect Wyoming to New Mexico with a multi-use trail system.
Around the park, the paved Pueblo Reservoir Trail connects Rock Canyon, the Visitor Center, the
South Shore Marina, the
North Shore Marina, and the campgrounds. Hikers and bikers on this trail will enjoy the ups and downs of the hilly terrain as well as have many chances at
spotting some of the park's wild inhabitants.
The South Shore Trails are popular for hikers, bikers and equestrians alike. For more information on this trail system, visit the Southern Colorado Trail Builders (SCTB) club at
http://www.lakepueblotrails.org/.
While not permitted on the paved trails in the park, horses are welcomed on many of the South Shore Trails. Parking is available in the overflow parking area at the South Boat Ramp.
Trail users are always encouraged to
share the trails and be respectful of the wildlife and other park visitors. Dogs are welcomed on all the trails, but are required to be on a leash at all times. Dog owners are also required to pick up after their pets to keep the trails clean and enjoyable for all.
Get out and hike!
