Castlewood Canyon State Park

2989 South State Highway 83
Franktown, CO 80116
(303) 688-5242


Castlewood Canyon State Park
Nature lovers and groups enjoy environmental diversity on several hiking trails ranging from mild to moderate. All trails are less than two miles long and can be combined for longer journeys. The winding Cherry Creek flowing along grassy the canyon floor provides wonderful rest stops. Pets -on a leash- are welcome.

The natural amphitheater and the Bridge Canyon Overlook gazebo perched on the edge of the canyon are unique places for weddings or other outdoor ceremonies. Casual groups and families enjoy the picnic areas at both entrances.

Remnants of geologic and local history combine when the then Castlewood Dam burst in 1933, sending a 15-foot-high wave of water into Denver. Ruins of the original ill-fated dam and the historic homestead still exist for hikers to see.

Hours: 8am-5pm

Fees: Daily Pass: $5
Annual Pass $55.00
