More state parks will require visitors without a vehicle to pay a fee for entry, Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced Wednesday.
Individual hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders must now pay $4 to enter 36 state parks. That includes the Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Roxborough State Park, Staunton State Park - Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Saint Vrain state parks.
"Just because you're biking or hiking in doesn't mean you're not using the facilities or not having an impact on that park,” CPW spokesman Travis Duncan said.
“So getting everyone who's recreating on state parks to make sure they're covering their costs is huge for us to make sure going forward that we have the funds we need to maintain those areas.
