  • Roxborough State Park Fact Sheet
    COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE Roxborough State Park Who we are Roxborough State Park is a designated National Natural Landmark, a State Natural Area and a National Archeological District. The park has also been recognized as a Leave No Trace Gold Standard Site by the Center for Outdoor Ethics. More than 1.2 billion years of geologic his- tory can be seen in the park’s stunning red-rock formations. The park has high biodiversity due to its location in a transition zone between the plains and the mountains. The area’s geological structure encourages microclimates that include seven distinct plant communities in a unique mixture of prairie and mountain species. As a result, Roxborough is home to abundant wildlife, including black bear, mountain lion and deer. Spectacular sightseeing, tranquil surroundings and fascinating trails offer hiking, snowshoeing and excellent educational programs on Colorado history, geology and wildlife. Visitors to Roxborough State Park spend about $1.5 million at local businesses each year.1 Top attractions • Red-rock outcrops and formations. • Visitor center with interpretive exhibits and presentations. • 15 miles of scenic hiking trails. • Roxborough Ride (touring assistance for visitors). • Persse Place historic structure. • Great watchable wildlife and photography opportunities.
