About Fishers Peak State Park

Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages this state park in the foothills south of Trinidad, anchored by Fishers Peak at 9,633 feet. Only a small part of the roughly 19,000-acre property is open to the public so far, and that section offers a trailhead with over 25 miles of hiking and biking trails, parking, restrooms, picnic areas, and interpretive signs. The land links grasslands with mountain habitat, so visitors may see elk, mule deer, black bears, many bird species, and reptiles. Pets are not allowed, and some trails near the peak close each spring and summer for peregrine falcon nesting.
