Castlewood Canyon State Park Management Plan

The public comment period is closed. Thank you for providing your feedback!

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) staff are updating the Castlewood Canyon State Park Management Plan, which was last updated in 1991. This updated Castlewood Canyon State Park Management Plan will serve as an overarching management guide for the park by outlining short- and long-term visitor, recreation, resource, and infrastructure management visions for the park. It will chart the management priorities and specific management directions for current and future park staff.

State Park Management Plans are intended to:

• Serve as a policy document and point of reference for current and future park staff, other partnering agencies, elected officials, and interested members of the public.
• Help inform future use and development and visitor recreation experiences.
• Guide management of existing natural and cultural resources.
• Provide a framework for monitoring and maintaining state park resources.
• Identify park enhancement opportunities, including possible facility upgrades, new park facilities, restoration and rehabilitation projects, and other important management initiatives.
• Help inform future budget allocations and annual funding requests.

Public feedback to inform this plan was collected through February 9, 2025 and is now closed.
