Outstanding scenery, ultra-modern facilities, a full-service marina and
magnificent campgrounds beckon visitors to Ridgway State Park. Here you can
boat, fish, camp, hike and study nature in one of the most beautiful areas in
Colorado.
Ridgway's great outdoors provides views of the towering Sneffels Range, the
"Switzerland of America." Located 12 miles north of Ouray, Ridgway's sandy swim
beach, beach house and full-service marina make it a top choice for water-sports
enthusiasts. Boating, scuba diving, water-skiing, windsurfing and swimming are
some of the offerings at the park. Picnicking and camping are great ways to
spend your time. In addition, Ridgway is known as one of the nation's most
accessible recreation areas for people with disabilities.
Ridgway State Park, 28555 Highway 550, Ridgway Colorado 81432; 970-626-5822.
