DENVER ~ Colorado State Parks See Record Visitor Numbers in 2025
In the past year, Colorado State Parks have become a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with approximately eight million visitors already recorded. This number is expected to continue to rise as summer continues and Fourth of July weekend approaches.
Governor Polis and Colorado Parks and Wildlife are highlighting the success of the state parks and the wide range of outdoor recreation opportunities they offer. From floating down the Arkansas River to camping under the stars, there is something for everyone at Colorado's 43 state parks.
"Colorado State Parks have something for every kind of adventure," said Governor Polis. "Our parks not only provide endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, but they also play a vital role in our state's economy. We are committed to expanding access so that even more people can enjoy our incredible outdoors."
In 2024, over 18 million people visited Colorado state parks, generating $147 million in revenue. This year, with eight million visitors already recorded, it is expected that these numbers will surpass previous records.

CPW Director Jeff Davis emphasized the diversity of Colorado's state parks and their ability to cater to all types of visitors. "Mountains or prairies, rivers or forests, out in the eastern plains or near the city - Colorado's state parks are as diverse as the state itself," he said.
In 2021, Governor Polis signed SB21-249 which created the Keep Colorado Wild Pass. This pass offers discounted entry into all state parks for cars, bikes, and foot traffic while also giving back to Colorado's outdoor community. The pass has been a huge success with over 1.5 million Coloradans purchasing it in its first year on sale.
The revenue generated from pass sales goes towards maintaining and developing state parks as well as supporting local search and rescue teams and the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC). Any additional funds will be allocated to wildlife projects and outdoor educational programs.
The Keep Colorado Wild Pass has not only made state parks more accessible for Coloradans, but it has also contributed significantly to the preservation and upkeep of these natural spaces. With the pass, entry into all state parks is reduced from $80 to just $29 for Colorado residents.
As the summer season continues, Colorado State Parks are expected to see even more visitors. With the Keep Colorado Wild Pass making it easier and more affordable for people to enjoy these outdoor spaces, it is clear that these numbers will continue to rise in the years to come.
