Biking, Camping, Hiking, Horseback Riding

Mueller State Park
Mueller State Park in Divide.

Mueller State Park is a great mountain escape for those along the Front Range. It’s about a thirty mile drive west of Colorado Springs.

The park does not feature a giant lake or a rushing river, but rather endless alpine forest in all directions. For fishing and boating, nearby Eleven Mile and Spinney Mountain state parks will do the trick.

Lots of biking, hiking and horseback trails exist within the park. Wildlife is common, including deer and black bear. A visitor center and a camper building are both open daily. The park is located along the Gold Belt Tour with lots to do around the park.

Cripple Creek and Victor are thirty minutes south. Each town has a rich mining history and Cripple Creek has casinos. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is close by as well.
