Camping –

  • Dispersed car camping can be found to the south in Arapaho National Forest. Take Co Rd 55 about 4.5 miles out of town to Co Rd 555. Campsites are all on that road.
  • Another primitive camping option is close to Williams Fork Reservoir on Co Rd 340. Follow the fishing directions below, but instead of taking Co Rd 341 west to the lake, take 340 southeast to the national forest. Pull-offs for various campsites are on the road within minutes.

  • Williams Fork Reservoir is only eight miles southwest of town. Take US 40 west 4.6 miles to Co Rd 3. Follow that to Co Rd 341 and the lake.

Hiking – Pioneer Park is the closest place for hiking, and has options that are very family friendly. There is a one-mile loop that will take you around the park and a disc golf course as well.
