Please Note: Fishers Peak State Park is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Just a small piece of the 19,200-acre park – about 250 acres – is open. No dogs or bikes are permitted on the property at this time. For now, the park offers: The First Look Trail – a quarter-mile professionally designed and built trail extending through the forest offers some spectacular views of the park’s 9,633-foot namesake, Fishers Peak. A drive-in picnic area for visitors who want an easily accessible, scenic spot for a picnic lunch. It is just off the new parking lot and near the two vault restrooms. A short and easy Discovery Trail, which meanders to a small meadow perfect for picnics. A small loop around the meadow is lined with interpretive signs that encourage visitors to learn about the habitat around them through the five senses. Get a glimpse of the extreme backcountry hiking challenges Fishers Peak will offer when fully developed with our Challenge Trail. Our volunteers helped convert an existing ranch road route into an aggressive (a nice way of saying “steep”) 1.5-mile hiking trail. How aggressive? Most professionally designed trails don’t exceed 8 to 10 percent grades. Our Challenge Trail will have you feeling the burn on stretches that exceed 30 percent grade. The payoff for all the work is a spectacular view of Fishers Peak and the valley below.

A brand New State park on the west side of Fishers peak formation. Has only 2 trails right now to walk, no dogs allowed still. Drive in to parking lot and restrooms and a park pass in needed to enter the park.

You buy a day pass to walk, hike or run thru this very new state park. This is a raw land area that has been privately owned for years. Now we are lucky to explore where exploring has not happened.
