Have you seen this video about our park?! Narrating is Jen Anderson, our former Park Manager, who guided its opening. With the help of countless wonderful volunteers, the initial generous donation of land to the state by Frances Staunton, and many other wonderful people and organizations giving time, land, and funds, especially Colorado Lottery and Great Outdoors Colorado - GOCO contributing over 11 million dollars, Colorado's newest state park has been operating for 3 years for all to visit!
The Davis Ponds have changed quite a bit, and we now have more trails, but the splendid untouched nature remains the same. Enjoy!
