| Facility: | Castlewood Canyon |
| Description: | Nature lovers and groups enjoy environmental diversity on several hiking trails ranging from mild to moderate. The winding Cherry Creek flowing along the canyon floor provides wonderful rest stops. Remnants of geologic and local history combine when the then Castlewood Dam burst in 1933, sending a 15-foot-high wave of water into Denver. Ruins of the original ill-fated dam and the historic homestead still exist for hikers to see. The park's visitor center has several exhibits exploring the varied ecosystems and wildlife present in the park as well as historical photos and records of the failed dam. The park offers many educational programs and activities throughout the year. |
