Golden Gate Canyon
Golden Gate Canyon State Park
More than 12,000 acres of dense forest, rocky peaks, and aspen-rimmed meadows laced with miles of trails awaiting the hiker, horseback rider, mountain biker and winter sports enthusiast at Golden Gate State Park.
Only 30 miles from Denver, Golden Gate Canyon offers such amenities as a electrical hook-ups and tent-sites in two different campgrounds, stocked fishing ponds, picnic sites and the Panorama Point Scenic Overlook, where visitors can see 100 miles of the Continental Divide. The park’s numerous
group facilities
can host several types of events, from weddings to family reunions and company picnics.
Besides camping, overnight guests can also stay at one of the five
cabins
and two
yurts
at Golden Gate. In 2008, the park began renting out
guest houses
, a first for a Colorado State Park. Winter will find visitors cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, ice fishing and ice skating.
