Cheyenne Mountain State Park
Cheyenne Mountain State Park is located in Colorado Springs, west of Highway 115 at the base of Cheyenne Mountain, covering about 1680 land acres. Colorado State Parks acquired the land in June of 2000.During FY 06-07, the Grand Opening of the park took place on October 19, 2006, allowing visitors to enjoy the park's trails during the weekends for the balance of the fiscal year. The Visitor Center and the Trailhead Comfort Station are scheduled to be completed early in FY 07-08, at which time the park will be open seven days a week. Much progress was also made on other amenities in the second phase of development during FY 06-07. These amenities included the Camper Services building, Maintenance Shop, and 6 additional Comfort Stations. Completion of the remaining site work at these locations is expected to take place in the second quarter of FY 07-08. Paving of all interior roads and parking lots is expected to be complete by October, 2008. The campground remains on schedule to open for business in the spring of 2008.
An additional two miles of trail were added to the park's system during spring 2007, bringing the total mileage to approximately 20 miles of multiple-use trail. The trails at Cheyenne Mountain State Park are popular with both hikers and mountain bikers alike.
