Ridgway State Park
great views at Ridgway State Park 
Mountain scenery mingles with magnificent campgrounds at Ridgway State Park.  Modern, universally-accessible recreation areas and the five-mile long reservoir make memorable days and nights.

Only 15 miles from the town of Ouray, Ridgway's great outdoors - the "Switzerland of America" - welcomes those from near and far. The park’s popular campgrounds, beautiful reservoir, picnic and playground areas, extensive trails, and diverse wildlife offer year-round activities for all types of outdoor enthusiasts. Come enjoy our swimbeach too!

There is so much to see and do in this peaceful, sunny, beautiful spot of Colorado. Come and enjoy it!
 
The BOAT RAMP is OPEN for the season.  All trailered watercraft must be inspected prior to launch.  Inspection hours are available in the 'Conditions' for the park.   

Unlimited Activities

Whether enjoying the park or a neighboring attraction, there’s no shortage of activities to partake in. With late summer now here, you can hike or bike, boat, fish, go kayaking or go wind surfing. Look at our summer programs to see what's going on at weekends through Labor Day. When winter gets here, go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. Visit Ridgway's Park Activities page for complete information.

Outdoor Gatherings

A naturally beautiful and accommodating setting for groups, the park offers several special spots for great gatherings. Visit Ridgway's Group Facilities page for more information.
