|
Crawford State Park offers its visitors camping, fishing, watersports, hunting
and numerous other leisure time activities in scenic mountainous terrain. The
area around the park is almost exclusively cattle country.
As the center of the cattle industry in the North Fork area, the nearby town of
Crawford sees hundreds of cows herded down main street on their way either to
market or mountain pasture. Ranches and farms still surround the park, drawing
water from the same reservoir that affords visitors so many recreational
opportunities year-round. The park's 6,600 ft. elevation guarantees visitors a
mild climate at any season.
The famous and spectacular Black Canyon of the Gunnison is only 12 miles from
the park. Nearer landmarks visible from Crawford State Park are Needle Rock,
Castle Rock and Saddle Mountain. Within the boundaries of Crawford State Park
are 337 land acres and the 400-acre reservoir.
Crawford State Park, PO Box 147, Crawford Colorado 81415; 970-921-5721.
