Mueller State Park

Mueller State Park’s 50 miles of trails provide a 5,000-acre playground for the hiker, mountain biker, wildlife watcher and winter sports enthusiast.

A popular Watchable Wildlife Area, Mueller is home to elk, black bear, hawks, and mule deer. Park visitors traverse the park’s numerous trails on foot, snowshoes, cross-country skis, horseback and mountain bike, depending on the season.

Mueller also has two options to stay overnight. There are 132 campsites in the park; 16 of these are open for winter camping . The park also has three cabins for rent year-round.

Mueller State Park welcomes pets in campgrounds, picnicking areas and along the park’s roads, but not on the hiking trails or in the backcountry. Keeping pets off of the trails increases the chances of visitors seeing the numerous species of wildlife in the park. Pets must be on a leash at all times unless they are in their tent, RV or personal vehicle. Download Pets at Mueller State Park to learn more.

The Visitor Center, located atop Big View Overlook, is a hidden scenic jewel in the shadow of Pikes Peak, America's mountain. At the heart of Mueller State Park, this information hub features exhibits emphasizing the park's natural habitats, wildlife and cultural heritage. Check out the outdoor Watchable Wildlife Kiosk. Get your bearings at the Gazebo's hand painted interpretive panels of the surrounding mountains before heading out on the Wapiti Nature Trail. Three trailheads connect you to short and long connecting hikes.
