Mueller State Park is located in the beautiful foothills of central Colorado Springs, just a short drive from the downtown area. This stunning 5,000-acre park offers visitors an array of exhilarating activities from hiking to biking and more.
The breathtaking views of Pikes Peak, one of the seven “Summits over 14,000 feet” in Colorado, can be seen from many different points throughout the park. The land was once used for ranching and logging operations, but it has since been restored to its natural state.
Upon arrival at Mueller State Park, visitors can choose between two camping areas: The South Meadows Campground and The North Meadows Campground. Both locations are surrounded by tall ponderosa pine trees that offer ample shade during warmer months. All campsites include electricity hookups as well as fire rings with grates for campfires.
In addition to camping, Mueller State Park offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking and mountain biking trails which range from easy to difficult terrain levels. The trails are designed for all ages and experience levels so no matter what your skill level may be there is something for everyone to enjoy! Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate fishing on Lake George where they may catch trout or sunfish year round.
For those looking for something a bit more low key than outdoor recreation, Mueller State Park also features a Visitor Center that houses educational exhibits about Colorado’s ecology and history along with stunning photography taken throughout the park. Other amenities within the park include picnic shelters with grills, large pavilions perfect for parties and special events plus two small amphitheaters available for use upon reservation request.
No matter your age or activity preferences, Mueller State Park guarantees an enjoyable time spent in one of Colorado’s most breathtaking locations! Come bluebird skies or snowstorms alike; you won’t regret making a trip out here to soak up nature’s offerings!
