Trails at Lake Pueblo
Lake Pueblo State Park is fast becoming a premier trail destination in Southeast Colorado due to the park's mild year-round climate. With over thirty four miles of paved trails open to both hiking and biking, it's easy to spend the whole weekend exploring the park on our trail system.
The popular, paved Pueblo River Trail connects the
city's trail system
to the park for bicyclists and hikers. A portion of this trail is part of the greater
Front Range Trail
project that hopes to ultimately connect Wyoming to New Mexico with a multi-use trail system.
Around the park, the paved Pueblo Reservoir Trail connects Rock Canyon, the Visitor Center, the
South Shore Marina
, the
North Shore Marina
, and the campgrounds. Hikers and bikers on this trail will enjoy the ups and downs of the hilly terrain as well as have many chances at
spotting some of the park's wild inhabitants
.
The South Shore Trails are popular for hikers, bikers and equestrians alike. For more information on this trail system, visit the Southern Colorado Trail Builders (SCTB) club at
http://www.lakepueblotrails.org/
.
While not permitted on the paved trails in the park, horses are welcomed on many of the South Shore Trails. Parking is available in the overflow parking area at the South Boat Ramp.
Trail users are always encouraged to
share the trails
and be respectful of the wildlife and other park visitors. Dogs are welcomed on all the trails, but are required to be on a leash at all times. Dog owners are also required to pick up after their pets to keep the trails clean and enjoyable for all.
Get out and hike!
Basic Trail Etiquette
Be aware of other trail users. Stay to the right of the trail (except when passing).
Slow down at corners.
Always clean up after yourselves.
Obey all the trail rules.
Give a clear warning signal when passing: call out passing on your left. Always look ahead and behind when passing.
Travel at reasonable speed.
Keep pets on a leash.
Move off the trail when letting others pass.
Yield to other trail-users when entering and crossing trail.
Do not disturb wildlife. Stay on the trail (respect the environment, do not venture off the trails).
Do not litter.
Do not make fires (use picnic areas and grills if provided).
Respect wildlife. Your surroundings are home to many plants and animals: you are the visitor.
Obey all posted signs. These indicate special restrictions that apply to the trail you are on.
