About Mancos State Park
Mancos State Park covers about 553 acres in southwestern Colorado and surrounds a reservoir in Jackson Gulch. Visitors use it as a base for camping and for exploring nearby Mesa Verde National Park, the San Juan Skyway and Durango. The park offers roughly 5.2 miles of trails, 32 campsites and 10 picnic sites. It is popular with anglers, and wildlife viewing is a draw, with birds and mammals such as mule deer and red fox. The visitor center is open only on some days, and a self-service station at the entrance sells daily passes when it is closed. Some park areas have seasonal restrictions, including vehicle closures on the west side in winter.
