List of Colorado state parks

This is a list of state parks in the Colorado State Parks system.

The Colorado State Parks system integrates outdoor recreation with tourism. There are currently forty-one parks open to the public, and there are two in development.[1] Colorado State Parks host over eleven million visitors each year. Colorado State Parks celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2009.

This agency also takes lead in managing Colorado's boating, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile, river-outfitter licensing, and trails programs.
