Woodland Park

Woodland Park was incorporated in 1891, after becoming established as a resort town and business center for the surrounding area. Saw milling began the primary business in the area, where logs were cut for the nearby gold mine railroads. Today, tourism is the main economy booster.

With such phenomenal weather and breathtaking surroundings, outdoor recreation options are endless. A wide selection of campgrounds, cabins, and RV parks can accommodate every adventure lover. Manitou Lake is just a few miles north of the city, while Rampart Range Reservoir is just eight miles away, stockpiled and ready with tons of trout. Whether by foot, horseback or mountain bike, well-groomed trails can be appreciated by nature lovers of all ages. Even in the winter, Cross-Country skiing and snowshoeing ensure these scenic paths deliver year-around rewards. Golf, bicycling and running are also resident favorites with scenic mountain backdrops and fresh, clean air.

The culture, recreation and entertainment of the surrounding cities and nearby Colorado Springs presents museums, craft shows, street festivals, theaters and annual events taking place year-round. A local IMAX theater provides thrills up close and personal, or for a glimpse into the sport of rodeo, visit the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is the only mountain zoo in the United States, situated on 146 acres at an elevation of 6,800 feet. Home to more than 750 animals, the Zoo was voted “Best Place for Family Fun” and "Best Outdoor Attraction" by local newspapers. The Garden of the Gods Park is a Registered National Natural Landmark in Colorado Springs, presenting spectacular views, plenty of hiking, climbing, biking and horseback riding opportunities for outdoor lovers.

As the stunning backdrop for Colorado Springs and the surrounding neighborhoods, Pikes Peak is the most visited mountain in North America. Wildlife can be viewed from the walking or driving trails, such as the yellow-bellied marmot, the bighorn sheep and the black bear. For sea life, take a tour on the self-propelled bellyboat ride on Crystal Reservoir. Each year, the Park holds events such as a fireworks display, a car race and the Pikes Peak Marathon, a 26 mile round trip foot race up Barr Trail and then back down each August, draws thousands of runners from all over the world.
