Colorado
State Park - Mancos
Back to Main
Area Map |
Just off the beautiful San Juan Skyway and surrounded
by the majestic San Juan mountain range, Mancos is southwest Colorado's
hot spot for excellent fishing and camping. Located 12 miles from
Mesa Verde National Park, the reservoir at Mancos State Park is
a beautiful setting. Pleasant climate, year-round trout fishing
and a campground in a mature Ponderosa pine forest combine to create
an outdoor haven that can't be beat.
The area is rich in Western history, especially that of the Ancestral
Puebloans whose ruins are preserved and displayed at the nearby
Anasazi Heritage Center, a museum in Dolores. The Durango-Silverton
Narrow Gauge railroad in nearby Durango -- 27 miles east of Mancos
-- offers visitors a scenic trip through remote wilderness areas
of the San Juan National Forest.
