Description
Colorado Parks & Wildlife
Eleven Mile State Park
The 14 backcountry sites are secluded sites located on a wooded peninsula that are perfect for those who are seeking fewer neighbors and who are willing to hike in with their supplies in to their sites. Some backcountry campsites have shade/trees. You will have to hike in from a 1/2 mile to 3/4 of a mile into these sites carrying your equipment. Wagons are not recommended as it is not a level trail.
