Mueller State Park
Mueller State Park’s 55 miles of trails provide a 5,000-acre playground for the hiker, mountain biker and wildlife watcher. Springtime in lovely Teller County means the wildlife and plants are returning to full bloom.
A popular Watchable Wildlife Area, Mueller is home to elk, black bear, hawks, and mule deer. Park visitors traverse the
park’s numerous trails
on foot, snowshoes, cross-country skis, horseback and mountain bike, depending on the season. A popular winter destination for snow shoeing.
Mueller also has two options to stay overnight. There are
132 campsites
in the park; 17 of these are open for
winter camping
. The park also has
three cabins
for rent year-round.
Mueller State Park welcomes pets in campgrounds, picnicking, two sledding areas and along the park’s roads, but not on the hiking trails or in the backcountry. Mueller is a Watchable Wildlife Area. Keeping pets off of the trails increases the chances of visitors seeing the numerous species of wildlife in the park. Pets must be on a leash at all times unless they are in their tent, RV or personal vehicle. Download

In the heart of Mueller State Park, this information area features indoor and outdoor exhibits emphasizing the park's natural habitats, wildlife and heritage. Visit the Watchable Wildlife Kiosk and learn about those who call Mueller home. At the Gazebo, hand painted panels of the surrounding mountains help you get your bearings before heading out on the Wapiti Nature Trail.
Three trailheads connect you to short family friendly or long connecting hikes. Don't forget to pick up a trail map.

To enhance your experience, check the calendar for naturalist guided hikes and educational activities throughout the park.
