Recreation

Located just north of Elkhead Reservoir State Park, the North Elkhead Tract 2 offers a prime setting for anyone looking to enjoy Colorado's natural beauty and recreational abundance. This location provides not only stunning views but also immediate access to one of the area's most beloved outdoor destinations. Whether you're casting a line, exploring the water by boat, swimming, or enjoying a peaceful hike, the park offers something for everyone. Elkhead Reservoir State Park is centered around the 900 acre reservoir, a warmwater fishery home to largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and northern pike. The park features both electric and non-electric camping, fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The main boat ramp and campground are less than five miles from the tracts, making it easy to enjoy the water and surrounding trails. Hunting in the area is great, particularly for deer, antelope, and possible late-season elk due to their migration route. Outdoor access is abundant, with numerous entry points into hundreds of thousands of acres of nearby National Forest. These lands offer direct routes into the Quaker Mountain, Bears Ears, and Black Mountain areas, known for their scenic trails, exceptional hunting, beautiful campsites, and alpine waters with fishing. Nearby towns further enrich the experience with river rafting, fishing, shopping at local shops, dining at unique restaurants, and hosting annual events.
