About Crawford State Park
Crawford State Park sits in mountainous terrain on Colorado's Western Slope. Visitors can camp, fish, enjoy watersports, hunt, and take part in many other outdoor pastimes. The park covers 337 acres of land around a 400-acre reservoir built in 1963. Its elevation of about 6,600 feet keeps the climate mild in every season. Wildlife viewing is a highlight, with more than 220 bird species recorded, and the park offers about 3.2 miles of trails and 66 campsites. Boat ramps are closed for the rest of 2026, though hand-launched paddle craft may still enter the water.
