List of Colorado state parks
This is a list of state parks in the Colorado State Parks system.
The Colorado State Parks system integrates outdoor recreation with tourism. There are currently forty-one parks open to the public, and there is one in development.[1] Colorado State Parks host over eleven million visitors each year. Colorado State Parks celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2009.
This agency also takes lead in managing Colorado's boating, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile, river-outfitter licensing, and trails programs.
